Pumpkin Pie Tacos are a creative and delicious fall dessert that combines crispy taco shells with a rich, creamy pumpkin filling. Perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any autumn gathering, these mini pumpkin pie tacos are easy to make and full of seasonal spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Cinnamon sugar, for dusting
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Caramel sauce, for topping
  • Ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a pan and carefully fry tortillas one at a time, folding gently with tongs to form a taco shape. Fry until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and immediately dust with cinnamon sugar. Let cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat pumpkin purée, cream cheese, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Spoon or pipe pumpkin filling into cooled taco shells.
  4. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve fresh with coffee or chai.
  • Add chopped pecans or crushed gingersnaps for crunch.
  • Make ahead by preparing filling and shells separately.
  • Use air fryer to crisp tortillas with less oil.
  • For vegan version, swap cream cheese and whipped topping with plant-based alternatives.
  • Keep tacos upright using a muffin tin for easy filling and serving.
