Preheat the oven to 375° F.
Cook the rice according to the package directions. Once cooked, remove from heat and transfer the cooked rice into a large bowl.
Fold in 1 ½ cups of the shredded colby jack cheese, ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella, corn, onions, chicken, green chiles and salsa. Season the entire mixture with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Lightly spray a medium sized skillet with non-stick spray, and line the bottom with the refried beans. Transfer the mixture into the skillet. Top with the remaining shredded cheeses and bake for about 20-25 minutes until the top layer of cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and garnish with green onions and cilantro and serve.
