Cut off the radius of the tortilla, divide the ingredients into four quadrants, and fold the tortilla into a triangle. You're sure to taste delicious in every bite.

When TikTok users first saw Emily Mariko post a video in which she topped a plate of salmon and rice with ice cubes and a piece of paper, many probably thought they were being duped by a fake recipe hack. but not. Instead, TikTok gets the almighty salmon job. To do this, you shred the salmon with a fork and place it on a plate, mix the salmon with the rice, and then sprinkle the dish with soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, and Kewpie mayonnaise. Top with some avocado chunks and serve with seaweed.

If you've heard of TikTok food hacks, chances are this is it. This recipe, originally created by Finnish food blogger Jenni Häyrinen for "uuni feta pasta," is pretty simple. Bake a cube of feta surrounded by cherry tomatoes in the oven, and once the feta is melted, stir into the pasta to create a rich, creamy sauce. Plus, you can go vegan!

5. Dalgona Coffee

Not to be confused with the infamous Squidward game Dalgona candy, Dalgona coffee is better known as "whipped" coffee on TikTok. As the name suggests, coffee is made by whisking together instant coffee powder, sugar, and hot water until it reaches a frothy consistency. Drink like it's March 2020.

6. Baked Oats

Make every morning feel like a celebration with this cake-like oatmeal recipe. This dish is made by combining other ingredients like oats, milk and eggs in a blender. Once it forms a batter-like consistency, bake the mixture in the oven. Customize dishes with classic toppings like fruits and nuts.

7. Cloud bread

While this recipe is definitely as wonderful as its name sounds, users may be a little disappointed to find that cloud bread doesn't taste like bread and more like marshmallows. To make this light treat, you'll whip egg whites with sugar and cornstarch until the frothy mixture turns into a meringue-like buttercream. Toast, open and let the cloud bread melt in your mouth like marshmallows.

8. Pesto Eggs

This is a very simple TikTok hack. This recipe utilizes pesto's olive oil base and requires the user to grease the skillet with pesto before poaching the eggs. Let your eggs absorb the mixture and you'll end up with some green eggs that even me, Sam, might like.

Gather ingredients like fresh vegetables and herbs and create a design of your choice to bake on focaccia bread. The most popular designs are usually gardens, as vegetables can easily double as flowers.

10. Twisted Bacon

Whether you prefer a healthier breakfast or just hate dodging the oil splatters of frying bacon, baking bacon in the oven is a great food hack in and of itself. But this twisted approach to bacon changed the breakfast game forever. By twisting the bacon strips before baking them, the bacon strips achieve the perfect balance of crispy, tender, and juicy. Plus, they make a great aesthetic addition to your next brunch.

Tiktok users everywhere have been incorporating this method of roasting garlic into their cooking videos—maybe it's just for aesthetics, but it looks delicious. Cut off the ends of the garlic balls, coat them with olive oil and seasonings, and bake in the oven. When it's done, it'll be soft enough that you can squeeze the mushy cloves into...well, anything. Garlic goes well with everything.

12. Accordion Potatoes

Slice the potatoes and make crisscross cuts across the surface, being careful not to cut all the way through the slices. Brush potatoes with delicious garlic butter sauce and bake. Waffle fries complement this delicate potato treat.

13. 15 hour potatoes

As you might have guessed from the name, this recipe requires a little patience. But if you're willing to wait almost a full day to enjoy this crispy potato treat, it seems it'll be worth it judging by the reactions from most TikTok users. The key to this recipe is to slice the potatoes thinly, stack them on a plate, and marinate them in butter. Once you take them out of the refrigerator, the dish comes together to form a sticky strip of potato chips. Cut them into cubes and fry them, and the result is a flaky, crispy and rich treat.
