The numbers and ingredients that make this recipe work for PCOS. Macros are per serving.
Betty demonstrates how to make baked flour tortilla cups. These are crisp cups that can be used for serving appetizers, side dishes, main courses, or desserts—they make an elegant presentation and can be eaten along with their filling!
Baked Flour Tortilla Cups
6 small flour tortillas (6 ½ inches across)
cooking oil spray
approximately 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (You may use melted butter, if you prefer.)
You will need a muffin tin for 6 large muffins (each 3 ½ inches across and 2 inches deep). Spray each muffin tin with cooking oil spray. Take each individual flour tortilla and put a sizable fold in it, transforming it into a cone shape. Place each cone-shaped tortilla in the prepared muffin tin. Use a pastry brush to put a thin coating of olive oil inside and around the top of each cone. (You may make as few or as many tortilla cups as you like. If necessary, use more than one muffin tin, or keep repeating the process with the same muffin tin.) After your flour tortilla cones are coated with oil, bake them in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes, until they are brown and crisp. You may use the cups to serve dips (cream cheese, mayonnaise, or sour-cream-based), salads (tuna, chicken, ham—even tossed green salad), side dishes (drained, cooked vegetables, rice, refried beans, macaroni and cheese, etc.), desserts (fruits like strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, bananas—or a mixture of fruits)—or even scoops of ice cream or puddings, and many other types of food. (You should not use a filling that is very liquid, because the tortilla cup will become soggy.) You may just eat the cup along with the filling. This is an elegant and attractive way to serve food of just about any type! Enjoy! --Betty

Why this Betty's Back! Baked Flour Tortilla Cups works for PCOS

Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Betty's Back! Baked Flour Tortilla Cups works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
