CHICKEN QUESADILLAS
This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together in a large bowl. Mix in the lard with your hands or a fork until the mixture resembles wet sand. Slowly mix in the hot water, mixing the dough by hand or with a fork until it comes together in a ball; you may have a little water leftover.
- Knead the dough by hand on a clean counter until smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes before portioning it into 12 equal balls. (At this point the dough can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to a day before use.)
- Roll out each ball of dough on a floured surface until about 1/8-inch thick. Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas one at a time in the skillet until they blister and puff, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and stack on a plate; cover with a kitchen towel as you work to keep the tortillas warm.
- For the quesadillas: Place one tortilla in a medium nonstick skillet and cover with shredded cheese and chicken. Cook over medium-low heat until the cheese begins to melt, 3 to 5 minutes. (If you like, heat 2 separate skillets so you can cook 2 quesadillas at once.)
- Place another tortilla on top of the first and flip. Cook until the underside is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Cut the quesadillas into triangles and serve with lime wedges, cilantro and toppings of choice: Sour cream, hot sauce, pickled jalapeños, guacamole and/or salsa.
