Why did the Folded Tortilla Trend go Viral?

There are so many reasons this trend has gained so much momentum. I’ll get into detail below but I’d like to say that tortillas in general are such a great bread-base for a variety of foods. That’s why it wasn’t surprising to me to see this hack exploding on social media. I mean, who hasn’t used a tortilla in a nontraditional way at one point or another?

Who’s behind it?

A woman named Alexandra Johnsson, behind the simplefood4u account on TikTok, has a viral video on the folded tortilla trend that has had nearly more than 59 million views! But, she isn’t the original creator of the trend. In fact, it’s still unknown exactly who started the trend. Alexandra said that she had previously seen the trend on TikTok a few times and decided to make a video recreating what she had seen. She had no idea it would blow up into the viral sensation it has become!

Where did it catch on first?

The trend first became popular on TikTok, and is still going strong! Also, the trend has gained momentum on Instagram and there are countless videos up on YouTube. The videos can be addictive on any social media platform because of the great variety of ingredients used to create the dish raiding homes worldwide!

You can search it under #wraphack, #tortillatrend, or #tortillahack!

Why is it so popular?

First of all, it’s the perfect way to fold and eat a no-mess wrap. Making a tortilla wrap this way helps keep all the fillings in place while you’re biting into it. It helps ensure you’re getting a bite full of all the tasty ingredients you’ve put in it!

Secondly, it’s so versatile in terms of what you can put inside of it. Craving something sweet and filling? Throw together a banana, strawberry, Nutella wrap and kick back and enjoy. Woke up a little rushed for work and needs something you can eat on the way? Perfect! Put together an egg wrap with your favorite toppings or condiments into a wrap. Bite into it’s crunchy exterior and enjoy your combo while beating traffic to get to work!

Furthermore, it’s so easy and quick that anyone can find joy in putting one together. It’s easy enough for kids to make using their favorite breakfast or dessert ingredients. Teens or college students can make easy lunch wraps for when they’re on their own. Adults on the run or on the search for an easy filling snack or dinner option can turn it into whatever their heart desires within minutes!

  • Fruits and Honey
  • Ashta and fruits

Tips

  • Place fillings strategically so that when you fold nothing falls out. Try to stay a small distance away from edges and fold carefully to avoid spilling out.
  • If heating in skillet, be sure to preheat and use a little oil. Cook on each side about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  • Use a large size tortilla so ingredients can sit comfortably, you can fill more ingredients, and not have them fall out when folding.
  • Anything with cheese, place the cheese so it’s in the outer layers so that it melts more easily.
  • Know that any flavors and ingredients that mesh well generally will taste amazing together in this fun and quick hack so don’t hesitate to try it out asap!

Ingredients

  • Tortilla of your choice preferably larger in size
  • Favorite fillings or spreads

How to make the Viral Folded Tortilla Trend

  1. Cut the tortilla from the center of it outward to the edge.
