How to Make & Eat an Origami Burrito

When mathematical inspiration meets food art, you get the Tortilla Hexaflexagon. Presented by Vi Hart, who previously bestowed the beauty of the hexaflexagon to more than 4 million YouTube viewers, the Flex Mex is an extension of her marvelous geometric puzzle into the world of food. Vi Hart applies the concept of the seemingly ever-changing paper model to a tortilla shell and creates a tortilla that is able to hold the burrito’s ingredients in two separate compartments.

What we get is an Origami Burrito that is not only simple to make but offers a pleasant geometry lesson as well. Didn’t think you’d be getting flashbacks of your high school math class did you? Don’t worry, we promise this is much less painful and much more delicious than protractors will ever be.
