Layer the meat and vegetable mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
