Add olive oil to a large pot.

Add ground beef and cook until browned over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

Mix the ingredients together well.

Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, set a timer for 12 to 15 minutes and stir constantly until the pasta absorbs the liquid.

Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking.

Add fresh cilantro to the pot and mix well.

Serve the Taco Mac and add toppings such as cheddar cheese, more cilantro, sliced tomatoes, avocados, and sour cream.
