This belief has to do with my kids and my sister. My kids always loved eating tortilla shells by themselves. When they were very small, they were each eating one while my sister was visiting. I made a sarcastic remark to my sister and she commented back to me "Oh, go hug a bear." (She was making a polite remark to me because my kids were in the room. One day the kids came to me and asked me for a "hugabear." I had no idea what they were talking about. After I had them show me what they were talking about, I realized the connection they had made that day. For years after that, I just let them call tortilla shells hugabears.
