Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Pie Tacos
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather ingredients and equipment.
  2. Cut tortillas into 3-4 rounds, ideally around 4 to 4.5 inches in diameter.
  3. Mix granulated sugar with ground cinnamon on a plate and set aside.
  4. Prick each tortilla round with a fork, brush with melted butter, and dip in cinnamon sugar.
  5. Drape cinnamon-sugar-coated tortillas over an upside-down muffin pan to form taco shapes.
  6. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Let taco shells cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. In a mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  9. Combine softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, then add pumpkin puree, vanilla, and spice.
  10. Fill cooled taco shells with the pumpkin filling just before serving.
  11. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chopped pecans or cinnamon if desired.
  12. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
