Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup shortening
1-1/4 cups warm water
1 cup each shredded cheddar , part-skim mozzarella and pepper jack cheese
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 cup sliced green onions
1 cup sliced ripe olives
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies, drained

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add enough warm water, stirring until mixture forms a ball. Let stand for 10 minutes. Divide into 28 portions.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in. circle. Cook on a lightly greased griddle for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side, breaking any bubbles with a toothpick if necessary. Keep warm.
In a large bowl, combine cheeses. For each quesadilla, place a tortilla on the griddle; sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons cheese mixture, 2 tablespoons chicken, 1 tablespoon onions, 1 tablespoon olives and 1 teaspoon chilies. Top with 1 tablespoon cheese mixture and another tortilla.
Cook for 30-60 seconds; turn and cook 30 seconds longer or until cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream. Yield: 14 quesadillas.
