Homemade Flavored Tortillas ( Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach Etc) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 tablespoons lard or 1 1/2 tablespoons shortening
    1/4 cup water (or liquid from the peppers)
    1/4 cup roasted red pepper (or spinach or whatever you want)
Preparation
    Sift together flour and salt into a bowl.
    Work lard or shortening into the flour with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
    In a blender or mini-food processer, blend water and ingredient of your choice together so there are no big chunks.
    Make a well in the flour and slowly stir in the liquid. Stopping when flour is moistened. Add more flour or water if needed.
    Knead lightly until smooth and form into a ball. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
    Divide dough into balls roughly smaller than a ping pong ball.
    On a lightly floured wooden surface, roll out each ball until very thin. Cut off rough edges if desired.
    Cook tortillas on a hot ungreased pan for a minute or two on each side.
    Keep warm in a bowl covered with foil or a damp towel.
