Homemade Flour Tortillas

1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup lukewarm water

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Blend in shortening with a pastry blender. Gradually stir in enough milk to make a soft dough. Divide the dough into small pieces. Roll to a thin circle about 6-8 inches. Cook on a heated griddle until lightly browned. Turn. Let cool.


Quesadillas
When tortilla is on its second side, sprinkle with cheese, olives and chilies. Fold tortilla in half. Heat until cheese melts. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa.
