Tortilla UK: a bowl is more than a burrito without the wrap
For the selected chicken, black-bean and pico build, the calculated burrito is 536 kcal and the bowl 399 kcal. The bowl has more allocated rice, so simply subtracting the 195 kcal wrap is incorrect.
The rice portion changes with the format
Tortilla’s medium guide allocates 117 kcal of coriander rice to a burrito, but 175 kcal to a bowl. The medium wrap itself is 195 kcal. A bowl is therefore not this burrito minus 195 kcal: it uses a different rice allocation.

Build the same chosen fillings deliberately
For a medium burrito with coriander rice, black beans, Chicken Asado and pico de gallo, the source allocations total 195 + 117 + 79 + 133 + 12 = 536 kcal and 34 g protein. Using the bowl rice allocation and no wrap gives 175 + 79 + 133 + 12 = 399 kcal and 30 g protein.
The difference is 137 kcal, not 195. Both calculations include the selected rice, beans, chicken and salsa once. Neither includes cheese, sour cream, guacamole or other additions.
| Order and portion | kcal | Protein (g) | Carbs (g) | Fat (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium chicken burrito, selected buildwrap + burrito rice + black beans + chicken + pico | 536 | 34 | 80 | 10 |
| Medium chicken bowl, selected buildbowl rice + black beans + chicken + pico; no wrap | 399 | 30 | 56 | 8 |
Guacamole is a separate supported addition
The medium guide lists 95 kcal and 1 g protein for guacamole. Adding that one allocation to the selected bowl makes 494 kcal and 31 g protein. Use its own row instead of assuming every burrito or bowl includes it.
Stay inside the medium column
The source has separate large, salad, taco and other sections. Large chicken or rice allocations should not be mixed into a medium build without saying so. “Double chicken” also needs the actual serving rule; it is not a license to double the entire finished order.
How to read the limits
These are GetMacros sums of the restaurant’s published ingredient allocations. They are not a restaurant-published finished meal or a measured individual scoop. Tortilla states that portions are served by hand and can vary.
The worked example retains the named kcal and macro fields. It does not recalculate energy from the guide’s kJ entries or guess corrections to source discrepancies. Ingredient preferences do not replace the restaurant’s allergen advice.
