Duck Tacos

- under 30 minutes to make
- Serves 4
This is a take off of Chef José Andrés’ Asian duck tacos. I worked with the salsa and was going to sprinkle the duck with 5-spice and soy before heating for filling the tacos, but forgot!! But, it’s the salsa that is really the star with the duck. Read more I’ll do it again with the correct seasoning on the duck pieces. I had approx. 6 oz. of duck pieces and this was enough for 4 tacos. NOTE: When duck is not available, use leftover chicken, pork or beef. See less

How to make it
- Roast the poblano directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning, until charred. Let cool. Peel, seed and chop the poblano.
- Preheat oven broiler until hot. For easy clean up, line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Put tomatoes, tomatillos and garlic and put under broil. Broil turning the vegetables a couple of times until charred. Peel the garlic; transfer to a food processor. Add the tomatoes, tomatillos, poblano, red pepper flakes and scallion (or green onion) and pulse until chunky. Add the lime juice and season the salsa with salt and just a little sugar.
- Shred the duck meat. Put in a small baking dish and combine with the soy sauce and five-spice powder. Heat in a small skillet stovetop; in a small baking dish in the oven; or, heat quickly in a microwave oven just until heated through.
- Serve the tortillas with the salsa, duck, and cilantro.
