Short answer

QDOBA flour tortilla calories depend on size. The local nutrition rows list the 5.5-inch tortilla at 70 calories, the 10-inch tortilla at 210 calories, and the 12.5-inch tortilla at 300 calories. These are tortilla-only values, not complete taco, quesadilla, breakfast burrito, or burrito totals.

The 5.5-inch row has 12 grams of carbs, 170 milligrams of sodium, 1.5 grams of fat, and 2 grams of protein. The 10-inch row has 36 grams of carbs, 490 milligrams of sodium, 5 grams of fat, and 6 grams of protein. The 12.5-inch row has 52 grams of carbs, 760 milligrams of sodium, 7 grams of fat, and 8 grams of protein.

Tortilla size comparison

The calorie gap between the 5.5-inch and 12.5-inch tortillas is 230 calories. Size also changes carbs and sodium, so using the wrong tortilla row can move more than one field in a meal estimate.

Choose the row tied to the menu format or documented default you are using. Do not apply the 5.5-inch number to a full-size burrito or assume every tortilla in every format uses the 12.5-inch row.

  • 5.5 inches: 70 calories, 12 grams of carbs, and 170 milligrams of sodium.
  • 10 inches: 210 calories, 36 grams of carbs, and 490 milligrams of sodium.
  • 12.5 inches: 300 calories, 52 grams of carbs, and 760 milligrams of sodium.

How much does the tortilla add to a burrito?

This calculator’s documented default Create Your Own Burrito uses the 12.5-inch tortilla row. The tortilla contributes 300 calories before rice, beans, protein, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sour cream, queso, guacamole, or other custom choices are counted.

With the calculator’s current default fillings, the complete Create Your Own Burrito estimate is 985 calories. The same bowl-style filling default is 685 calories, which shows why the 300-calorie tortilla is an important starting difference in a bowl versus burrito comparison. A live customized burrito can differ from both defaults.

Where each tortilla size changes the comparison

This calculator uses the 5.5-inch tortilla in its default taco component set, the 10-inch tortilla in selected small breakfast defaults, and the 12.5-inch tortilla in the default full Create Your Own Burrito. These mappings explain why choosing the correct menu format matters before adding fillings.

A taco built on the 5.5-inch row should not be compared with a full burrito as though the tortilla were the only difference. The number of tortillas, amount of filling, and any bundled side or drink can change the meal. Three smaller tortillas can also add up differently from one large tortilla once their individual fillings are repeated.

Size affects sodium and carbs as well as calories. Moving from the 5.5-inch row to the 12.5-inch row adds 590 milligrams of sodium and 40 grams of carbs before the filling changes. For a fair comparison, keep rice, beans, protein, queso, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa as similar as possible, then isolate the tortilla difference.

  • Use the menu format to choose the starting tortilla row.
  • Multiply smaller tortillas when the order includes more than one taco.
  • Compare identical fillings when you want to isolate the effect of tortilla size.

A practical burrito workflow

Add the correct tortilla first, then add rice, beans, protein, queso, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and any side or drink. If the final total seems surprising, review the portion and size of each component rather than assuming the tortilla or one topping explains everything.

Common questions

How many calories are in a QDOBA flour tortilla?

The local rows list 70 calories for 5.5 inches, 210 calories for 10 inches, and 300 calories for 12.5 inches.

Are tortilla calories the same as burrito calories?

No. The tortilla is one component. Rice, beans, protein, queso, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, sides, and drinks must be counted separately.
