this dish! (I don't know the real answer myself, but thought it would be fun to see everyone's guesstimates.)

    gauging by hte plastic fork i'm guessing this is a reasonably fast food joint. i can't tell what it is, but it looks maybe like a tostada? i'd guess about 850 calories

    i could make a better guess if i knew the ingredients. there's something there that looks reminiscent of meat.. .but it's questionable

    The ingredients are: frybread, beans, lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

    I've never taken a tape measure to the thing, but it fits on the paper plate they serve it on so I would guess 9-10".

    (We used to eat this every friday for lunch, I actually looked forward to 'frybread friday'. Now I have to entice the fiance with other options he loves, but we still end up having it 1-2 times a month :grumble: ) I have it estimated at around 1300.

    Never head of fry bread. Looks good. That cheese has to be at least 500 calories, and the bread has to be at least 500 calories. I'd say 1500 total.

    Man I should post my enchilada fries from a mexican food place down the street...I love them...but they are probably like a zillion calories.

    when i checked on livestrong, it quoted as 1020 calories. that's not including meat. not the worst thing to eat on occasion, but not something to eat every day... the calorie equivalent is about a dozen apples

    I'd guess about 1100....that plate sized fried tostada (or whatever it is ...is the killer). Not to mention 2-3 oz of cheese. Just my guess though.
