Use chili powder to your personal taste. Salad dressing should be

chopped. (If you use canned beans see the dietary changes below.)
Mix vinegar, chili powder and onion powder with salad dressing in

frying pan for about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn if necessary. Place half of
bean filling onto each tortilla near one edge. Top with lettuce and
tomato. Roll up.
