1/2 cup Grilled shiitake mushrooms caps, grilled
3 x Flour (6-inch) tortillas
1/4 cup Grated monterey jack

Put legs in a casserole and brush on sauce. Pour stock around legs. Cover and
bake for 3 hours at 300 degrees, basting with BBQ sauce every 30 minutes. Let
cool, and pick off duck meat.
Prepare a wood or charcoal fire and let it burn down to embers.
Place 2 tortillas on work surface. Spread half the cheeses, duck, and mushrooms
on each and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stack the 2 layers, cover with
the remaining tortilla, brush with 1 tablespoon oil, and sprinkle evenly with
chile powder. May be prepared ahead up to this point and refrigerated. Grill for
3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are slightly crisp and the cheese
has melted.
Cut into quarters and serve hot, garnished with the salsa.
