## Instructions

1. Start by making the salsa. In a pan, add olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add three vine-ripened tomatoes, four tomatillos, two jalapeños, a quarter of a white onion, and three cloves of garlic. Stir until it's black.
2. Put everything in the blender. Add a handful of cilantro and the juice of half a lemon. Blend.
3. Put the blended mixture back in the pan and let it reduce until it is a thick sauce.
4. Prepare the duck. Score the duck breasts, making sure not to cut into the meat, and season with flaky salt.
5. Put the duck breasts in a cold pan on medium to low heat and let the fat render out.
6. Season with flaky salt and fresh cracked pepper.
7. Baste the duck breasts with the rendered fat and cook until the skin is golden brown.
8. Make the aioli. In a bowl, whisk together the reduced salsa and three egg yolks.
9. Strain any solids from the duck fat and add it along with avocado oil into the blender with the salsa and egg mixture. Slowly blend this in.
10. Slice the duck and assemble the tacos. Add duck fat aioli, the duck, avocado slices, and the pear habanero shallot ginger mignonette to the tortillas.
11. Top with cotija, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
