Spiced Pumpkin Tartlets

1package refrigerated pie crusts (or a batch of your own pie crust)
1- 15oz. Solid pack pumpkin
1 - 8 oz. container thawed Cool Whip
1tsp. Pumpkin pie spice
1package (3.4 oz.) cheesecake instant pudding mix
Powdered sugar (optional)
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Allow pie crusts to stand at room temp 15 minutes.  Use a circle or scalloped cutter (3 inches) cut out pastry. Press into each cup of a mini muffin pan.  Prick the bottom of dough.  Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.  Let stand 5 minutes.  Remove to a cooling rack and let completely cool.  
Meanwhile combine pumpkin, whipped topping, and pumpkin pie spice, in bowl.  Whisk until smooth.  Add pudding mix; whisk until smooth and thickened.  Refrigerate until ready to use.  
Lightly sprinkle tarts with powdered sugar.  Fill the tarts sells with the filling mix.  I like to put it in a Baggie and snip out the corner to pipe it in.  Place chopped pecans on top.

Texas Pork Burritos

1 boneless Pork shoulder roast (3 -4 lbs.), baked and shredded
1tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
2 - 10 oz. Cans green enchilada sauce
1large onion diced
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
2 - 2 1/4 oz cans sliced olives, drained
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 Tbsp. Ground cummin
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. Dried oregano
2 Tbsp. Flour
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup minced cilantro
10 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese

Roast/bake your roast until it is very tender and shreds easily with a fork.  I like to cook it in the crock pot all day.  Salt and pepper.  Transfer the shredded meat to a 3 quart crock pot.  Combine the enchilada sauce, onion, carrots, olives, broth, cumin, garlic, and oregano.  Pour over meat.  Cover and cook on low 1-2 hours until carrots are tender.  Combine flour and sour cream; stir into meat mixture.  Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cilantro.  Spoon 2/3 cup pork mixture into each tortilla; top with shredded cheese.  Roll up tightly.
If you don't like cilantro you can leave it out and have it set aside for individuals to add to their burrito.
