## Nutrition data and methodology

This page uses USDA SR Legacy FoodData Central record 175036, Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, corn: 218 kcal, 5.70 g protein, 44.64 g total carbohydrate, 2.85 g fat and 6.3 g fiber per 100 g. Its 24 g tortilla reference matches the USDA-derived University Hospitals serving table, which reports 52.32 kcal per tortilla.

Serving totals are calculated from the same per-100-g record multiplied by portion grams divided by 100. Calories round to whole kcal after scaling, so multiplying a rounded single-tortilla total can differ slightly. This is not the unsalted tortilla record, a flour tortilla or a fried tortilla chip.

### How many calories are in two corn tortillas?

### Does frying a corn tortilla change its calories?

No. Flour tortillas and fried chips have different compositions. Use a matching product label or food record.
