The trick, first brought to the internet's attention by TikTok user @ellcarter1, involves dividing the tortilla into four quadrants. You put a different filling in each...

A tortilla with bacon in two quadrants, shredded cheese in one quadrant, and scrambled eggs in the fourth

Next, you make a cut between two of the sections...

And then carefully fold the quadrants over each other...

Until you have a beautiful, triangular-shaped, perfectly wrapped sandwich. BOOM:

For bonus points, @ellcarter1 recommends buttering the outside of the wrap and putting it in a panini press:

This triangular sandwich-wrapping technique is now going viral on TikTok, having amassed nearly half a million likes so far. And lots of TikTokers are trying it out for themselves, to delicious results. There's this breakfast wrap:
