    I like a recipe that can can be delicious with any protein. That salsa sounds marvelous. And the avocado mousse is really over the top. 5 stars!

  • Adriana Lopez Martn June 25, 2017 (5:40 pm)

    Duck is one of my favorite proteins, difficult to make but so good. Those tacos looks amazing I wish I could try one. La Victoria is a great brand and their products are very authentic Mexican

    • Molly Kumar June 26, 2017 (2:15 am)

      Thanks so much Adriana. I love duck too and I’m sure you’d love these tacos 🙂

  • Marisa Franca @ All Our Way June 25, 2017 (11:30 am)

    Wow!! When I think of tacos I think of them more as street food. But my goodness you’ve taken street food and turned it gourmet. Sounds absolutely delicious. Wish duck meat were more available around here. Now, ducks wander around our neighborhood but I don’t think the people that encourage the ducks around their pond would appreciate us grabbing them for dinner. Great recipe!!

    • Molly Kumar June 26, 2017 (2:24 am)

      Hehehhee, Thanks Marisa and I’m sure we won’t look cute running behind neighborhood ducks 😉 I’m glad you liked the recipe and it can definitely taste delicious with any other light meat too.

  • Gloria @ Homemade & Yummy June 24, 2017 (9:45 pm)

    I LOVE duck, and I LOVE tacos…so this is a win for me. I just found a new butcher who carries duck on a regular basis. I know what I am going to get next time I visit the store…and these will be happening in my kitchen for sure.

    • Molly Kumar June 26, 2017 (2:30 am)

      Yaaay, I’m so glad you liked the recipe and I’m excited for you to try them soon!! Thanks for visiting Gloria 🙂

  • Veena Azmanov June 24, 2017 (8:24 pm)

    Cilantro is my favorite herb of choice. So Salsa with Cilantro is my favorite! Love the taco recipe Molly. Sounds so refreshing!! Never had duck taco before so can’t wait to try this.

  • Marlynn | UrbanBlissLife June 24, 2017 (5:49 pm)

    I love duck but have never tried making duck tacos. What a great idea! And I bet the orange cherry salsa tastes fantastic with the duck.
