The difference

290 kcal

A burrito is one big tortilla packed with rice, beans, meat and toppings. Tacos are small tortillas with less filling and no rice.

One taco is about 170 kcal, so the burrito is close to five tacos. Cheese, sour cream and guacamole add to both.

Hungry? Go burrito. Fancy a lighter lunch? Two or three tacos is plenty for many people.
