- Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter and sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Flip a muffin pan upside down and drape each tortilla over the gaps to form “taco” shapes.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
- Make the Pumpkin Filling:

- Spoon the pumpkin mixture into each cooled taco shell.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Top each taco with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon for garnish, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
- For extra crunch, add a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top.
- Best served fresh, but you can store unfilled shells and filling separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days.
