Things worth knowing

• A small 6-inch tortilla (30 g) has about 92 kcal (384 kJ), a medium 7–8-inch one (49 g) about 150 kcal (627 kJ), and a 12-inch burrito tortilla (117 g) about 358 kcal (1498 kJ).
• Corn tortillas are lighter at about 218 kcal per 100 g; a typical 24 g corn tortilla has roughly 52 kcal (219 kJ), with more fibre and far less sodium.
• Flour tortillas are salty: one burrito-size tortilla carries about 860 mg of sodium, over a third of the Daily Value, before any filling.
• The fat in the dough is why flour tortillas have more energy per gram than sliced white bread, which has about 266 kcal per 100 g.
