Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    In a slow cooker, combine duck legs, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the duck is tender and easily shreds.

  2. 2

    Char the Cabbage

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shredded cabbage and cook until charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble Tacos

    Shred the cooked duck and warm the corn tortillas. Top each tortilla with shredded duck, charred cabbage, salsa verde, pickled onions, and crumbled cotija cheese.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos warm and enjoy!
