Ingredients:

• 6, 8-9 inch tortillas
• 1 15 ounce pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 1/2 ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• Margarine for greasing pan
• Extra cinnamon and sugar

Method

Combine the pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, vanilla, and pecans. Working with one tortilla at a time, put about 1/3 cup pumpkin mixture on one half and fold over. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat, and coat with margarine. Put the folded tortilla in the pan, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Cook until brown in spots, and flip. Cook on the other side until brown in spots. Sprinkle other side with cinnamon and sugar. Remove to plate and keep warm while repeating with remaining tortillas, pumpkin, and margarine. Serve warm, cut into wedges.

Notes: This is a really neat alternative to traditional pumpkin pie. It is quick to make, and fun to eat.
