Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 pieces Street Taco Sized Flour Tortillas (Use gluten-free if needed.)
  • 2 Tbsp Vegan Butter (Can substitute with coconut oil.)
  • 2 Tbsp Coconut Sugar (For coating, can replace with brown sugar.)
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon (Mix with coconut sugar for coating.)
  • 2.5 lb Diced Pie Pumpkin (Peeled and seeds removed.)
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (Can create your blend.)
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt (Add pinch for coating.)
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Toasted Pecans (Can substitute or omit for nut-free.)
  • 1 batch Cream Cheez Icing (Store-bought options are fine.)
  • 1 scoop Non-Dairy Vanilla Ice Cream (optional) (Look for soy-free varieties if needed.)
  • 1 dollop Whipped Coconut Cream (optional) (Store-bought or homemade.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin: Start by steaming or boiling the diced pie pumpkin until it’s soft, which usually takes around 10-15 minutes. Drain any excess water and let it cool for a bit.
  2. Mash the Pumpkin: In a bowl, mash the cooked pumpkin until it is smooth. Add the pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and sea salt, stirring until well combined.
  3. Make the Coating: In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon together. This will be used to coat the tortillas for extra flavor.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Once melted, warm the tortillas for approximately 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.
  5. Coat the Tortillas: Remove the warm tortillas from the skillet and coat them in the coconut sugar and cinnamon mixture. Make sure each side is well covered for maximum flavor.
  6. Fill the Tacos: Take each tortilla and add a generous scoop of the pumpkin filling on one side. Sprinkle some chopped toasted pecans over the pumpkin for added texture and taste.
  7. Add Toppings: Top the filled tortillas with cream cheez icing. If you want to make it extra special, you can also add a scoop of non-dairy vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Fold the tortillas into taco shapes and serve them immediately. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures with every bite!

Notes

Store tacos in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers for freshness. Best consumed within a few days.
