Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 500 g Cooked and shredded duck meat; 1/2 piece Finely chopped onion; 1 clove Minced garlic; 12 pieces Corn tortillas for rolling; 1 cup Oil for frying; 1 cup Concentrated tamarind pulp; 1/4 cup Brown sugar; 1 piece Toasted and seeded pasilla chile; 1/2 cup Duck or chicken broth; 1/2 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Sauté the onion and garlic in a skillet with a splash of oil, add the shredded duck, season, and sauté for 5 minutes.
Step 2

Warm the corn tortillas on a hot griddle to soften them without tearing.
Step 3

Fill each tortilla with the duck mixture, roll tightly into flauta-style tacos, and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Step 4

Fry the tacos in hot oil until completely golden and crispy; drain on paper towels.
Step 5

Blend the tamarind with the toasted pasilla chile, brown sugar, and broth; strain and simmer in a saucepan for 7 minutes until a smooth sauce forms.
Step 6

Drizzle the crispy tacos with the warm tamarind sauce and garnish with shredded cabbage, sour cream, and cotija cheese (or aged sheep's milk cheese or feta).

Notes:
This dish fuses the tradition of Mexican tacos dorados with duck confit and the sweet-and-sour touch of tamarind, an Asian fruit deeply rooted in the Mexican coast since the Viceroyalty.
