Duck Fajitas

This elegant French twist on a Tex-Mex classic sees tender slices of Périgord duck breast, seared to perfection, served atop a soft corn tortilla – ideal for an easy midweek supper, or dining en plein air…

Serves 4 | Prep time: 30 minutes | Cooking time: 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Périgord duck breasts
• 1 cucumber
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 4 soft corn tortillas

METHOD

1. Slice the cucumber, tomatoes and onions into very thin rounds. Combine all three in a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. Cut the duck breasts lengthwise, then slice finely across the width to create bite-sized strips.
3. Lightly oil a hot griddle or skillet, then sear the duck slices until just browned, seasoning with salt and pepper as they cook.
4. Lay a generous spoonful of the salad on each tortilla, then top with the warm duck slices.
5. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve immediately – ideally with a glass of chilled Périgord white wine.
