Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a saucepan, combine the white rice, tomatillo salsa, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and fluffy.

While the rice is cooking, mix the cooked black beans with the finely chopped white onion.

Transfer the cooked rice into a casserole dish, then spread the black bean and onion mixture evenly over the rice.

Evenly sprinkle the shredded pepper jack cheese on top of the black bean and onion layer.

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is slightly bubbly.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
