Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 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)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pre-heat oven to 400F. Cut 3-4 rounds out of each tortilla shell with a cookie cutter (4-4.5 inch) to get about 20 shells.

  2. 2

    Stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a plate. Gently stab the tortillas with a fork 4-5 times to help prevent air bubbles.

  3. 3

    Brush both sides of the tortillas with the melted butter, and coat the tortillas down into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

  4. 4

    Flip a muffin tin upside down. Place the tortilla pieces in between muffin cups. Bake 10 minutes until just golden brown. Let cool in pan.

  5. 5

    While the tortilla shells are cooling, make the whipped cream. Beat together all the whipped cream ingredients with a mixer until stiff peaks form.

  6. 6

    In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Add in pumpkin puree, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice and mix until fully incorporated.

  7. 7

    Evenly pipe or spoon the pumpkin filling into the cooled taco shells. Then top with the whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon and/or chopper pecans. Serve immediately and enjoy!
