TikTok Tortilla Wrap Hack

If you are on TikTok or watch Instagram reels, you’ve probably seen this incredible tortilla wrap recipe.

Everyone loves an easy, cheap, delicious meal, and that’s why this recipe has gone viral! With numerous combinations, this is the perfect meal for every college student. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making your own!


First, cut a slit in a large tortilla from the bottom to the center. Then, add a different, but complementary ingredient to each of the four quarters of your tortilla (it could be any kind of meat, cheese, veggies, or even sweet ingredients like fruits with peanut butter or Nutella). In the last step, you start with the cut edge and fold the tortilla into four quarters. Once your tortilla is folded, it’s time to heat it up! You can either toast yours on a pan for a few minutes on each side or heat it in a panini press if you have one.
