Step 1

<p>Preheat oven to 400°F and coat a 12-cup muffin-tin liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Slice plantains lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, carefully cook plantains until light golden-brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining plantains and set aside.</p>

Step 2

<p>Heat remaining oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and Saźon and cook until browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in sofrito, tomato sauce and olives. Season with Adobo, to taste. Simmer, stirring occasionally until flavors develop, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Drain any excess grease.</p>

Step 3

<p>Line each muffin cup with 1 1/2 plantain slices, overlapping them and gently pressing along the bottom and up the sides. Cut a small piece of plantain to fully cover the bottom of each cup. Fill each plantain cup with a few tablespoons of beef mixture, then pour in the beaten eggs until nearly full. Sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake until egg is set and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve.</p>
