I bought some frozen breakfast tacos from HEB which are kind of like little bean and cheese burritos. The ingredients clearly include refried pinto beans, but the nutritional info shows 0% fiber.

Is this even possible?

possible such a minute quantity of actual beans is in there that they can claim 0% fiber

The tacos may be comprised of a paste made from beans ... but after being highly processed they in fact actually have near zero nutritional properties of a bean

that would be my guess

Is it those Taco Ria ones? I think the label has an error. HEB's other bean and cheese breakfast tacos had 3g fiber. I don't think there's any way to remove the fiber from the beans. Even Taco Bell beans, which seem like the most processed pinto beans I've ever encountered, have fiber.

Yes, I thought that it was probably mislabeled. I checked the info for Frito-Lay bean dip and even THAT contains a lot of fiber. And I consider that to be the most processed form, even more than Taco Bell if that were possible.
