Let's Get Started
- Preheat your oven to 275°F.
- Season the duck legs with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Place the duck legs in a deep baking dish, along with the thyme sprigs.
- Melt the duck fat and pour it over the duck legs, making sure they are fully submerged.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 2 hours, or until the duck is tender and can be easily pulled apart.
- Once the duck is cooked, let it cool and then shred it using two forks.
- Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are warm and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing some of the shredded duck on each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of salsa verde, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and diced onion.
