Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz.)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 1/2 cups Cool Whip, thawed
Enchiladas & Topping
- 18-24 flour tortillas
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, canned pumpkin, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes smooth and well blended. Then gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until combined evenly.
- Fill the Tortillas: Evenly divide the pumpkin cheesecake filling among the flour tortillas, spreading the mixture over each tortilla.
- Roll the Enchiladas: Roll up each filled tortilla tightly and place them on serving plates or a platter with the seam side down to keep them closed.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until combined to create a brushable glaze.
- Brush and Top: Generously brush the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture over the rolled tortillas, ensuring each is coated well. Finally, drizzle caramel sauce over the top of each enchilada for added sweetness and flavor.

- Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree for authentic pumpkin flavor.
- Cool Whip can be substituted with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
