Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Feta cheese, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, minced chipotle, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
- While the pumpkin mixture cooks, warm the corn tortillas in another skillet or microwave until pliable.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix in the Greek yogurt and lime juice until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the pumpkin filling on each tortilla, followed by a dollop of avocado crema.
- Garnish the tacos with fresh cilantro and crumbled feta cheese if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: For added flavor, consider roasting the tortillas lightly on a skillet before filling them.
When making the avocado crema, feel free to add a squeeze of lime juice for an extra zesty kick. If chipotle is too spicy for your taste, you can use smoked paprika as a milder alternative.
To store leftovers, keep the filling and tortillas separate in the fridge. They can be reheated individually in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until warmed through.
