TikTokers aren’t getting tired of sharing food hacks.
Their latest trending obsession involves sectioning off tortillas for an ultra-neat quesadilla-like sandwich.

All it takes is one slice that goes half-way through the center of a tortilla as well as four or more ingredients that can be sprinkled onto each quadrant.
When the arrangement is done, home chefs pick up a corner of the tortilla and fold it half three times to create a single triangle before they pan fry, grill or pull out a panini maker.
The trend has largely gone viral under the #tortillatrend hashtag, which has countless videos listed under it that amount to more than 2.5 billion views.
