Johns Hopkins University students just wrapped up a one-of-a-kind design day project.

It is called Tastee Tape, an edible adhesive that's made of food-grade fibrous scaffold and an organic adhesive. The tape makes sure the ingredients inside one's favorite wrap stay tucked tightly inside during cooking and when you eat it.

The team tested a bunch of ingredients and combinations before settling on the final recipe. The tape is clear, but the team added blue dye in some of the video to better illustrate its use.

They said it's safe and has the strength to hold together a fat burrito.

"The girl who came up with the idea, one of our team members, Erin, she was eating her burrito one day, and it was during the beginning of the semester when we had to come up with these ideas, and it was just everywhere, and she was like you know what, this is a problem to be fixed," JHU senior Tyler Guarino said.

The makers of the edible tortilla tape are applying for a patent, so they would not disclose their secret formula just yet.
