Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 6 8-inch Tortillas (makes about 18–24 rounds)
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/3 cup Butter (melted)
- 4 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 3/4 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree

- 1 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Pecans for garnish (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Use a 4–4.5 inch cookie cutter to cut 3–4 rounds from each tortilla to make about 20 shells.
- Stir together granulated sugar and cinnamon on a plate.
- Prick each tortilla round 4–5 times with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Brush both sides of tortillas with melted butter, then coat in cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Flip a muffin tin upside down and place the tortillas between the cups to form taco shapes.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan.
- Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Pipe or spoon the pumpkin filling into cooled taco shells.
- Top with whipped cream, chopped pecans, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, fill the taco shells just before serving to keep them crispy. Store whipped cream and pumpkin filling separately if prepping ahead.
