– 1 avocado, diced
– 12 slices of deli-style ham or turkey slices
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the onions until they soften, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate the seasonings into the beef mixture.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
6. Place one slice of ham or turkey into each muffin cup, pressing gently to create a cup shape.
7. Spoon the taco meat mixture evenly into each ham cup.
8. Top each cup with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cups cool for a few minutes.
11. Carefully remove the cups from the tin using a spoon and transfer them to a serving plate.
12. Garnish each cup with diced avocado before serving.
