Tacos de Pato con Mole

Tacos de Pato con Mole is a flavorful dish featuring tender duck meat paired with a rich and complex mole sauce, all wrapped in soft, warm tortillas. This dish embodies the essence of traditional Mexican cuisine, perfect for a late-night indulgence.

Ingredients

• Duck breast - 2 pieces (about 200g each)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Mole sauce - 200 ml (homemade or store-bought)
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Radishes - 4, thinly sliced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Season the duck breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy.
4. Flip the duck breasts and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
5. While the duck is cooking, heat the mole sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
6. Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
7. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
8. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced duck on each tortilla, drizzling with mole sauce, and topping with chopped cilantro and sliced radishes.
9. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
