TikTok Tortilla Wrap Hack: Delicious wraps in just 3 steps
With more than 2 billion views on TikTok, the tortilla “hack” is actually quite simple and is actually the cleverest way to make a wrap. You simply cut the tortilla from the middle to one edge, fill the various quadrants with any fillings you like, and then fold everything into a neat triangle that is either eaten as is or briefly fried. And then you can enjoy all the delicious ingredients in a single bite without the wrap bursting or falling apart. All the fillings stay inside the wrap and it's super easy to eat. Below we have looked at the individual steps in more detail.
1. Prove
All you need to prepare the TikTok Tortilla Wrap is a large tortilla and fillings of your choice. The first step is to prepare the flatbread and divide it into quadrants. To do this, simply cut the tortilla from the edge to the middle. You can then top these as you wish, but keep in mind that the fuller the tortilla, the harder it is to fold.
2. Wrinkles
Instead ofroll everything up together, the tortilla is folded into quarters to create a compact, triangular wrap. This requires a little skill so that the filling doesn't fall out while folding. But with a quick hand it's easy. Start with the part to the left of the slit, fold it up, then the resulting triangle to the right and down again. Complete!
Tip: If the tortilla is a little dry, it may break apart when folded. To prevent this, heat them in the microwave or in a preheated pan for 10 seconds. This makes it more flexible.
3. Sauté
To cook, each side is warmed in a pan for a few minutes. This creates a kind of Mexican quesadilla that is filled with lots of delicious fillings. Alternatively, you can also bake the wraps briefly in the oven so that the cheese can melt a little. You can also skip this step and enjoy the wraps cold.
Is there a difference to a quesadilla?
The tortilla trend looks similar to a quesadilla, but in comparison, each quarter of the tortilla has different toppings, which creates a very special flavor explosion.
Variations on the tortilla wrap trend
The viral TikTok tortilla wrap hack is worth the hype. You can make different flavor combinations and onePrepare a quick meal for dinner or lunch. All kinds of fillings are possible. Whether pizza, eggs, vegetables or even sweets – there are no limits. These wraps are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients from the fridge. We have collected lots of great ideas for the filling, which you can vary as you wish.
Crunch Wrap
There's nothing more classic than the Crunch Wrap. Super hearty, deliciously seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, crisp lettuce with fresh tomatoes, sour cream and crispy tortilla chips, all packed together and grilled to perfection. It couldn't be better! When making this wrap, we recommend putting the cheese on the last quadrant so it can melt well and as quickly as possible. If the wrap is fried for too long, the lettuce can wilt and lose its crunch.
Vegetarian
The fillings for your wraps are completely up to you. This vegetarian version is particularly tasty, nutritious and healthy at the same time. For this you need scrambled eggs, half an avocado, tomato sauce and cheese.
In the first folded quarter, add the protein (in this case the scrambled eggs). Then top the top two quarters with something creamy and juicy, like mashed avocado and tomato sauce, and finish with cheese. When the wrap is grilled, the cheese acts like a glue that holds everything together.
Tortilla Wrap Hack for Breakfast
You can also prepare the classic English breakfast of bacon and eggs in a wrap version. Add a few more avocado slices and some cheddar cheese to make the wrap juicier.
For fitness fans
The wrap is delicious, protein-rich and healthy with a filling of chicken breast, Emmental cheese, baby spinach and pesto. Add a few more onion slices to give the wrap even more flavor.
Pizza filling
If you like classic pizza, you will love this variation of the tortilla hack. Top the tortilla with tomato sauce, salami and grated cheese and enjoy your favorite flavor in a different form. To make the wrap extra cheesy, top two of the quadrants with cheese - the one folded last and the one opposite.
And why not a sushi wrap?
It may not be a tortilla, but you can also make your own sushi wrap using the same method. For this you need large sheets of nori, sushi rice, sauce and fillings of your choice such as cucumber, avocado and salmon.
The procedure is exactly like with the tortilla wrap. Cut the nori sheet from the middle to the edge, fill each quarter with the fillings, placing the rice on the last quarter and fold everything over each other until you get a square. You can then cut the sushi wrap in half diagonally and enjoy.
The TikTok Tortilla Wrap Hack Vegan
Are you trying to reduce your meat consumption and adopt a vegan diet? Then of course you can also veganize these tortilla wraps. Instead of using animal ingredients like shredded cheese, shrimp, and ground beef, you can make the TikTok trend vegan by using soy shreds, some vegan cheese, and other delicious plant-based ingredients like kimchi, avocado, tomatoes, and others. The possibilities are simply endless. Also, don't forget to buy vegan tortillas (especially if you're not vegan yourself but are making the wraps for a vegan). We now give you two great combinations as an idea that you will surely love.
Veganer Crunch Wrap
For this wrap you need soy shreds as a substitute for minced meat, a few tomato slices, vegan cheese and mashed avocado. You can also add any sauce if desired.
Kimchi Reis
Hummus, vegan kimchi, cooked rice and half an avocado were used to top this tortilla.
Other great ideas for filling your vegan tortilla wraps include:
- salad mixes
- Marinara sauce
- Vegan cream cheese
- nutritional yeast
- Tempeh
