1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Quick-pickle the Radishes and Scallions: In a bowl or jar, mix rice vinegar with sesame oil and lime juice. Add diced scallions and radishes, and mix together until everything is coated in the marinade. Set aside.
3. Transfer duck confit legs along with the duck fat in which they are packaged to a cast-iron dish. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the cover, and continue cooking the skin under the broiler for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Transfer to the microwave and set to cook on high power for 2 minutes, until the skin is browned, crispy and sizzling. If the skin isn’t sufficiently crispy at this point, return to the microwave and cook for another minute. Remove from paper towels and let cool completely before breaking skin into crispy, bite-sized bits.
5. Shred the duck meat. Season with ½ cup of Sky Valley Taco Sauce. Stir well to coat.
6. Lightly toast your corn tortillas in a separate pan. Keep them covered with a towel or wrapped in tin foil until everything is ready to assemble.

Finish each taco with a few mint leaves, a sprinkling of fresh cilantro and a few drops of taco Sky Valley Taco Sauce. Serve with lime wedges.
