In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the beans and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 1 1/2 hours, skimming away the gray foam that appears. Drain well.

Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and warm in the oven for 5 minutes.

In a food processor with the metal blade, combine the beans and sour cream and process until smooth. Add to the frying pan and cook until the beans are warm, about 3 minutes.

Divide the bean mixture among the tortillas. Roll and place seam side down in the prepared dish. Top with the remaining tomatoes and the cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the cheese melts, about 20 minutes.
