Ingredients

1 duck (about 3 pounds), neck and gizzards removed, rinsed and patted dry

1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more for duck

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 white onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 5 cups)

2 bay leaves, preferably Mexican

2 tablespoons chipotle puree

1 tablespoon safflower oil, plus more for frying tortillas

24 corn tortillas (6 to 8 inches)

2 cups Refried Beans for Zarape De Pato

Poblano Sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Generously season duck inside and out with salt. Prick holes all over skin with a fork. Place duck on a wire rack set in a roasting pan. Roast until skin is browned, about 40 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the leg (avoiding the bone) registers 165 degrees, for 50 to 60 minutes; the legs should rotate easily in their joints. Let cool.

Remove the skin from duck; reserve. Shred meat with a fork. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes, bay leaves, chipotle, and salt; stir to combine. Reduce heat to low; simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the shredded meat, and cook until heated through. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, until ready to use.

Thinly slice duck skin. Heat 1 tablespoon safflower oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook duck skin, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.

Heat about 1 teaspoon safflower oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry the tortillas, one at a time, just until softened, 10 to 20 seconds, turning once. Transfer to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm while you finish frying. Add more safflower oil to pan as needed.

Spread 1 tablespoon refried beans on each tortilla; top with 2 tablespoons duck mixture. Roll up to enclose; place on a serving platter. Pour poblano sauce over tacos; top with crisped duck skin. Serve remaining beans and sauce on the side.
