The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 122 calories for 1 shell at 47 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 260 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.8 g protein, 1.4 g fiber, and 177 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, drinking, representing 49.6% 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 shell 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 122–260 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 2707818: “Gordita/sope shell, plain, no filling.” 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 2707818, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup (pieces)” 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 | 35.3 g | 92 kcal | 1.4 g | 1 g | 133 mg |
| 1 shell (3 - 4" dia)USDA-listed household measure | 47 g | 122 kcal | 1.8 g | 1.4 g | 177 mg |
| 1 cup (pieces)USDA-listed household measure | 100 g | 260 kcal | 3.9 g | 2.9 g | 376 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707818’s 47 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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

≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Gordita/sope shell, plain, no filling,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707827 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 shell (3 - 4" dia) to 1 cup (pieces)
USDA assigns those measures 47 g and 100 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 122 kcal to 260 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707827
At an equal 100 g, this record has 17.9 g less total fat than “Taco shell, flour.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, drinking
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 49.6% 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 “plain; no filling” fits. Inspect FDC 2707827 when “flour” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Which USDA record fits your meal?
Treat the long description as data. The phrases doing the most work here are “plain” and “no filling”. Match those details first; then compare the database weight with the amount you mean.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.
| Exact record | Source serving | Calories / 100 g | Protein / 100 g | Fat / 100 g | Fiber / 100 g | Sodium / 100 g |

| Taco shell, flour | 45 g230 kcal | 511 kcal | 8.8 g | 29.1 g | 3.8 g | 755 mg |
How to compare FDC 2707818: its source amount is 47 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 251 less calories, 5 g less protein, and 16 g less carbohydrate than “Taco shell, flour.”
Only this record lists Flour, corn, yellow, fine meal, enriched; Corn flour, masa, enriched, white; Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Vegetable oil, NFS. Only the comparison record lists Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
6 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: Shortening, vegetable, household, composite.
Listed only in this record: Flour, corn, yellow, fine meal, enriched; Corn flour, masa, enriched, white; Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Vegetable oil, NFS; and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 47 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 shell (47 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 45 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium (45 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707818 with FDC 2707827 at equal mass; use their 47 g and 45 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707818 versus FDC 2707827 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 item size, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.
For “Gordita/sope shell, plain, no filling,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
item size
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 or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
moisture and density
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 04
spreads or 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 2707818 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 260 kcal per 100 g becomes 122 kcal at 47 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 shell 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: 2707818
FNDDS food code: 52208760
The scaling for FDC 2707818 can be exact while the match to “Gordita/sope shell, plain, no filling” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 47 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
