    *Jalapeño peppers can sting and irritate the skin; wear rubber gloves when handling peppers and do not touch eyes. Wash hands after handling peppers.

    2. Add 6 cups water, onions, peppers, garlic and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, 1 hour or until beans are tender. Drain cooking broth from beans.

    3. Preheat oven to 300°F. Stack tortillas and wrap in foil. Bake 20 minutes or until heated through.

    4. Combine lettuces. Top tortillas with beans, lettuces, sour cream, cheese, salsa and cilantro. Fold in 2 sides; roll to enclose filling.
