Pulled Duck Tostadas

I used duck legs with the skin on but you can use them without skin if that is all you can find. The fat under the skin provides a lot of flavor to the braising liquid, and the skin basically dissolves as it is cooked so long.

You can use any stock you like for this recipe. I used one liter of beef stock and one liter of chicken stock plus a tablespoon of Vegeta seasoning. There are so many different stocks whether store-bought or homemade you can use here so just use what is convenient. If your stock does not have salt then you will have to add about two teaspoons to the liquid for braising.

You can buy it here or if you must you can substitute with marjoram. I do not personally feel Mexican oregano and real oregano are interchangeable but using anything is better than leaving it out of this recipe.

AKA dried cilantro.

You can use whatever chili you like or leave it out completely. If you are a spice fan feel free to use something really hot. Although I do recommend serving these tostadas with hot sauce at the end regardless.
