Instructions

  3. Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon on a plate to create your flavorful coating.
  4. Poke holes into each tortilla round with a fork to avoid bubbling while baking.
  5. Brush both sides of each tortilla round with melted butter.
  6. Dip each tortilla round into the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
  7. Arrange the coated tortillas in a muffin tin and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
  8. Allow the taco shells to cool in the pan.
  9. Beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  10. Mix softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, then add pumpkin puree, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  11. Spoon or pipe the creamy pumpkin filling into the cooled taco shells.
  12. Top each taco with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped pecans before serving.
