Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Pie Tacos
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather your ingredients.
  2. Cut 4 to 4.5-inch rounds from the tortillas to create 20 taco shells. Prick them lightly to prevent bubbling.
  3. Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon on a plate. Brush each tortilla round with melted butter, then coat with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  4. Place sugar-coated tortillas between muffin cups turned upside down, and bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in pumpkin puree, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice.
  7. Fill the taco shells with the creamy pumpkin mixture and top with whipped cream.
  8. Garnish with chopped pecans and serve immediately.
