The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 264 calories for 1 small/regular at 105 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 251 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.5 g protein, 2.2 g fiber, and 387 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork, fresh, shoulder, (boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised, representing 47.3% 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 small/regular 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 126–402 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 2708517: “Taco, corn tortilla, pork, cheese.” 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 2708517, 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 | 50 g | 126 kcal | 7.4 g | 1.1 g | 185 mg |
| 1 small/regularUSDA-listed household measure | 105 g | 264 kcal | 15.5 g | 2.2 g | 387 mg |
| 1 largeUSDA-listed household measure | 160 g | 402 kcal | 23.7 g | 3.4 g | 590 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 2708517’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 2708517’s 105 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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
Magnesium39 mg
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber2.2 g
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat4.8 g
≈ 24% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium387 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Taco, corn tortilla, pork, cheese,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708518 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 miniature to 1 large
USDA assigns those measures 50 g and 160 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 126 kcal to 402 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708518
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.1 g less dietary fiber than “Taco, corn tortilla, pork, with beans, cheese.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised supplies 47.3% 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 “corn tortilla; pork; cheese” fits. Inspect FDC 2708518 when “corn tortilla; pork; with beans; cheese” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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, corn tortilla, pork, cheese,” 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 2708517 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 251 kcal per 100 g becomes 264 kcal at 105 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 small/regular 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: 2708517
FNDDS food code: 58102030
The scaling for FDC 2708517 can be exact while the match to “Taco, corn tortilla, pork, cheese” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 105 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
