Equipment

biscuit or cookie cutter
small bowl
Whisk
large skillet or pot
Electric mixer
Piping bag

Ingredients

6 large flour tortillas
⅔ cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
Oil for frying

Pumpkin filling:

8 ounces cream cheese softened
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Whipped Cream Topping:

1 cup heavy cream
1 Tablespoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoons vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Cut the tortillas into smaller circles using a 3 or 4” biscuit or cookie cutter.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
Place about ½” of oil into the bottom of a pan for frying and heat the oil over low/medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, put one tortilla into the pan and using tongs, fold the tortilla in half to resemble a taco shell.
Once the shell has turned golden, remove and immediately coat with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Repeat until all the shells have been fried and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. Let cool completely while making the filling.
To make the pumpkin filling, place the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add in the vanilla, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice and beat until smooth.
Place into a large piping bag with a round or petal shaped tip to make filling the tacos easier. Set aside.
To make the whipped topping, place the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon into a large bowl and beat on high with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Place into a large piping bag with a tip of your choice.
To assemble:
Line the shells up in an upright position and start by piping the pumpkin filling into the bottom of each shell.
Once they are filled, pipe the whipped cream over the top of the pumpkin filling. Serve immediately.
