An online star has broken a Guinness World Record by creating a giant tower of tortillas.

Angel Zayas constructed the 32.1-inch tower from the snack that was able to stand without any extra support.

Zayas explained how he prepared for the record attempt by practicing with various kinds of tortillas to find the variety that could stack easily without tipping in any direction.

Despite his preparation, Zayas felt that the record was far more difficult to achieve than he thought it would be.

He told Guinness World Records: "I was inspired by this title because I didn't think a record like this existed and I thought... How hard could this be? And it ended up being A LOT harder than it seemed.

"I don't know who thought of this title but it's iconic and amazing!"
