Lightly coat a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the leftover chili into tortillas, roll up and place seam side down in the dish. Cover with shredded cheese and bake until the cheese melts and the chili is heated through. These burritos are great served with sour cream, chopped onions and black olives. &mdash;N.
