Enchilada, no meat calories: 248 per 1 enchilada, any size (150 g)
This exact USDA record reports 248 calories for 1 enchilada, any size (150 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 248 calories for 1 enchilada, any size at 150 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 165 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 9.6 g protein, 4.7 g fiber, and 711 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is refried beans, canned, traditional, reduced sodium, representing 39.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 enchilada, any size at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 248–281 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2708569: “Enchilada, no meat.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2708569, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 112.5 g | 186 kcal | 7.2 g | 3.5 g | 533 mg |
| 1 enchilada, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 150 g | 248 kcal | 9.6 g | 4.7 g | 711 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 170 g | 281 kcal | 10.8 g | 5.3 g | 806 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708569’s 150 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals

≈ 17% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Calcium182 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Enchilada, no meat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708566 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 enchilada, any size to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 150 g and 170 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 248 kcal to 281 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708566
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.4 g less protein than “Enchilada, beef.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Refried beans, canned, traditional, reduced sodium
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Refried beans, canned, traditional, reduced sodium supplies 39.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “no meat” fits. Inspect FDC 2708566 when “beef” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 26 less calories, 3.4 g less protein, and 2.7 g more carbohydrate than “Enchilada, beef.”
Only the comparison record lists Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Beef as ingredient in recipes. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, corn; Refried beans, canned, traditional, reduced sodium; Cheese and Queso as ingredient; Sauce, enchilada, red, mild, ready to serve; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Beef as ingredient in recipes.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 enchilada, any size (150 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 enchilada, any size (150 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708569 with FDC 2708566 at equal mass; use their 150 g and 150 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708569 versus FDC 2708566 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.
For “Enchilada, no meat,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount served
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
recipe and ingredient ratios
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
added cooking fat
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 04
sauces and toppings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2708569 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 165 kcal per 100 g becomes 248 kcal at 150 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 enchilada, any size has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2708569
FNDDS food code: 58102840
The scaling for FDC 2708569 can be exact while the match to “Enchilada, no meat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 150 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
