  • Heat the leftover chili in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.

  • Lay out your tortillas and layer the rice, warmed chili, and shredded cheese in the center of each.
  • Fold in the sides and roll the tortillas tightly from the bottom to the top.
  • In a skillet, add oil and place the burritos seam-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook until the cheese melts.
