Ingredients
  • 1 lb duck breast (453 grams)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder (.65 grams)
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin (.65 grams)
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano (.25 grams)
  • ½ a small onion quartered
  • ½ tbsp lime juice (7 grams)
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken stock (60 grams)
  • 2 tbsp orange juice (20 grams)
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 6 small tortillas
  • 3 radishes sliced thinly
  • 1 mango peel removed, cored, cubed
  • 2 scallions chopped
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle both sides of the duck breast with a generous pinch of salt. Grind a small pinch of freshly ground pepper on both sides as well. Sprinkle one side with the dried spices.
  2. Place the duck breast in the slow cooker, then add the onion and pour the liquid into the pot (Orange juice, lime juice, chicken stock).
  3. Turn on the slow cooker to the low setting for 6 to 7 hours, until the duck easily shreds apart when you pull at it with a fork. Turn the duck out onto a wooden board, then use one fork to hold the duck in place while the other fork pulls at the meat to shred it apart.
  4. Warm a tablespoon of oil into a hot pan over medium-high heat. Add the shredded duck and sauté just until the edges of the duck meat are crispy. Assemble your tacos with whatever toppings you desire.
