Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set aside a muffin tin for shaping the tortillas.
  2. Cut flour tortillas into rounds, about 3 to 4 rounds per tortilla. Prick them with a fork to prevent bubbling, brush with melted butter, then coat in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Place the tortilla rounds between the muffin tin cups and bake for about 10 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Watch them closely!
  4. Beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Spoon the pumpkin filling into the cooled taco shells, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  7. Serve your Pumpkin Pie Tacos immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Fill the taco shells just before serving to maintain their delightful crunch and avoid sogginess. You can prepare the shells and filling a day in advance and assemble shortly before serving for best results.
