Spray 1 tortilla with olive oil on both sides. Position between 4 holes of tin to form a cup shape. Put a heatproof shot glass or object of similar size in centre of tor tilla to hold position.
Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden and crisp. Set aside. Repeat with remaining tortillas to make 6 taco cups.
Fill tacos with lettuce, mince, tomato, avocado and sour cream. Top with coriander.
