By type and size

Tortilla	Size	Carbs
Corn	6"	12g
Flour	6"	15g
Flour	8" (taco)	24g
Flour	10" (burrito)	35g
Flour	12" (large burrito)	45g
Chipotle flour tortilla	13"	50g

Low-carb brands

**Mission Carb Balance (soft taco)**: 18g total, 13g fiber → **5g net**
**La Tortilla Factory Low Carb**: 18g total, 11g fiber → **7g net**
**Mr. Tortilla 1-Carb**: 9g total, 8g fiber → **1g net**

What this means for your meal

A Chipotle burrito's tortilla alone accounts for ~50g of the meal's carbs. Switching to a bowl drops your total carbs by half before you change anything else.
