TikTok feeds are filled with thousands of food videos from quick recipes to viral hacks. And the latest trend transforms how people can cook with flour tortillas.

One user shared a video of an "insane flour tortilla hack" that offers an alternative to traditional soft tacos.

First, they popped the street taco-size flour tortilla into the toaster, which puffed up with steam once it was heated. That allowed them to cut a slice along the edge of the tortilla to create an opening.

Then, they filled it with an array of taco ingredients -- rice, beans, lettuce, avocado, cheese and salsa -- and showed off the perfectly filled pocket.
