Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 or similar baking dish.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.

  5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it flat. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
