Method
Duck Filling
1
Pat the duck legs dry and prick the skin all over. Season with sea salt and five spice powder. Place in a cold skillet skin-side down, turn the heat to medium-low, and render the fat until the skin is deeply golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Flip and cook for another 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Shred the meat and skin, discarding the bones.
Taco Shells
2
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place shredded cheddar cheese in flat circles. Cook until bubbly and the edges turn golden brown. Carefully lift each cheese round and drape it over a rolling pin or thick spoon handle to cool into a hard taco shell shape.
Spicy Dressing
3
Whisk melted ghee, lime juice, hot sauce, and grated ginger together in a small bowl until emulsified.
Plate
4
Stuff the crispy duck filling into the hard cheese taco shells. Drizzle the spicy ginger-ghee dressing over the top and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately while warm.
