Duck Confit Tacos Ingredients

Method

Duck Confit Tacos Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck Confit

    Rub the duck legs with salt and let them sit in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. Rinse off the salt and pat dry. In a large pot or Dutch oven, submerge the duck legs in duck fat and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours until tender and falling off the bone.

  2. 2

    Make the Blueberry Salsa

    In a bowl, combine blueberries, peanut butter, chopped chile de arbol, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Shred the Duck

    Once the duck is cooked, remove it from the fat and let it cool slightly. Shred the meat with two forks.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a generous amount of shredded duck, top with blueberry salsa, pickled onions, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of guacamole.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
