At the kitchen counter

Count tortillas, then check their weight.

The tortilla portion in the table belongs to the selected USDA record. If your package lists a different gram weight, use that weight in the calculator or follow the package nutrition label for the closest match to your product. A small street-taco tortilla and a larger tortilla are not automatically equivalent.

Build a taco by adding the tortilla, filling, cheese, and toppings separately. Warming a tortilla in a dry pan does not add another ingredient, but frying it in oil or brushing it with butter does. Taco shells, tortilla chips, and flour tortillas are different foods and should not be estimated from this entry simply because their names are similar.
