Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Top each taco cup with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, a slice of black olive, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
