Check Out Whether This Controversial TikTok Taco Hack Is Worth It

Tacos are delicious, but making and eating them is usually a messy process as you deal with your ingredients constantly falling out. A TikTok user came up with a hack for preventing this problem, and while it's pretty genius, it's got its flaws. So what's the so-called hack, and how well does it work? Let's find out.

You place a tortilla inside a glass, ensuring that the edges are curling upwards, before adding your preferred ingredients and microwaving it. This TikTok hack can be effective in minimizing mess, but you have to make sure that the glass you use is safe to use in the microwave. Then you microwave it on high for three minutes. While this may seem clever, the problem is getting the glass and tortilla sizes just right so that you can easily add your other ingredients and have the tortilla actually support them instead of falling flat or curling inwards too much. If you want to give this hack a go anyway, here's a great taco recipe to try!
