  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the filling is heated through.
  7. Once baked, carefully remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired.
