Worth knowing

Two small corn tortillas are 132 kcal between them and carry no gluten. Two flour tortillas in their place would be 360, and the dinner would be nearer 660.
Chipotle paste is smoke and heat with very little else in it. Two teaspoons is 14 kcal, so a third teaspoon costs nothing worth counting.
