Featuring a creamy pumpkin filling spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, wrapped in soft taco shells and topped with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting, these tacos offer a delicious and easy-to-make treat perfect for gatherings or a comforting snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Taco Shells

  • 6–8 soft taco shells or tortillas

Toppings

  • Whipped cream or cream cheese frosting, as desired
  • Optional chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional caramel sauce or chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pumpkin filling: In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. The filling should be thick yet creamy with warm fall spices.
  2. Warm the taco shells: Lightly heat the soft taco shells or tortillas on a dry skillet or in the oven until they are pliable and slightly toasted to enhance texture.
  3. Assemble the tacos: Spoon a generous but manageable amount of pumpkin filling into each warm taco shell, ensuring they can still be folded without cracking.
  4. Add toppings: Top each Pumpkin Pie Taco with a dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or drizzle caramel sauce or melted chocolate if desired for added texture and indulgence.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while shells are warm and filling is luscious for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Choose soft but sturdy tortillas to prevent cracking and make tacos easier to eat.
  • Chill the pumpkin filling for 30 minutes before assembling to achieve a firmer consistency.
  • Use freshly ground spices for enhanced flavor.
  • Toast nuts before sprinkling to boost crunch and aroma.
  • Adjust sugar amounts based on the natural sweetness of your pumpkin puree and personal taste.
