Taco, cheese only calories: 385 per 1 large (140 g)
This exact USDA record reports 385 calories for 1 large (140 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 385 calories for 1 large at 140 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 275 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 17.1 g protein, 5.3 g fiber, and 435 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, corn, representing 60% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 large 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 96–385 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 2708533: “Taco, cheese only.” 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 2708533, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 miniature” through “1 large” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 miniatureUSDA-listed household measure | 35 g | 96 kcal | 4.3 g | 1.3 g | 109 mg |
| 1 small/regularUSDA-listed household measure | 70 g | 193 kcal | 8.5 g | 2.7 g | 218 mg |
| 1 largeUSDA-listed household measure | 140 g | 385 kcal | 17.1 g | 5.3 g | 435 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Burritos and tacos
The comparison set contains 46 exact records in the Burritos and tacos USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2708533’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708533’s 140 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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
Calcium440 mg
≈ 34% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber5.3 g
≈ 19% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat9.9 g

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Taco, cheese only,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708554 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 miniature to 1 large
USDA assigns those measures 35 g and 140 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 96 kcal to 385 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708554
At an equal 100 g, this record has 393 mg less sodium than “Burrito, cheese only.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, corn
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, corn supplies 60% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 53 less calories, 1.5 g less protein, and 3.1 g less total fat than “Burrito, cheese only.”
Only this record lists Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, corn. 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.
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: Cheese and Queso as ingredient.
Listed only in this record: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, corn.
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 140 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large (140 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small/regular (150 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708533 with FDC 2708554 at equal mass; use their 140 g and 150 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708533 versus FDC 2708554 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, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.
For “Taco, cheese only,” 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
bread or wrapper size
Resolve bread or wrapper size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 03
fillings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
sauces and cheese
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 2708533 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 275 kcal per 100 g becomes 385 kcal at 140 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 large 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: 2708533
FNDDS food code: 58102250
The scaling for FDC 2708533 can be exact while the match to “Taco, cheese only” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 140 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
