This El Pollo Loco pair is a useful comparison because both published names include a two-piece breast-and-wing meal, pinto beans and rice. The tortilla format differs. Preserve that exact construction rather than comparing a bare chicken portion with a full meal.
What the published pair says
The corn-tortilla entry is 660 kcal, 58 g protein, 77 g carbs, 14 g fat, 8 g fiber and 2,070 mg sodium. The flour-tortilla entry is 740 kcal, 59 g protein, 85 g carbs, 18 g fat, 8 g fiber and 2,490 mg sodium.
The full flour-version total is 80 kcal and 420 mg sodium higher. Protein differs by just 1 g and reported fiber is the same. These complete rows are stronger evidence than assuming that every tortilla type has a universal calorie or fiber value.
Keep the included sides counted once
Pinto beans and rice belong to both named records. Adding their standard portions again would double-count them. If you select another side or different pieces of chicken, neither original row automatically becomes accurate for the revised meal.
Use the difference honestly
The source-defined pair supports a menu decision between these builds, not an allergen verdict or a claim that one tortilla is always better. It also does not include every sauce packet or drink. Check the published portion and current local assembly before logging or sharing the total.
