Shanna's BBQ Duck Leg

 

2 x Skinless duck legs 
1 cup New Mexico-Style Barbecue Sauce see Lynn's New Mexico B-B-Q Sauce SC150 
1/2 cup Chicken stock 
1/2 cup Grilled, sliced Shiitake mushrooms caps 
3 x Six-inch flour tortillas 
1/4 cup Grated Monterey Jack cheese 
1/4 cup Grated white cheddar cheese 
    Salt to taste 
    Freshly ground black pepper to taste 
1/2 cup Spicy Mango Salsa see Mango Salsa F18

 Method :
Put duck legs in a casserole and brush on the New Mexico-Style Barbecue Sauce. Pour stock around legs. Cover and bake for 3 hours at 300 degrees, basting with barbecue sauce every 30 minutes. Let cool, and pick off duck meat (meat should equal at least 1/2 cup.
Prepare a wood or charcoal fire and let it burn down to embers.
Place 2 tortillas on work surface. Spread half the cheeses, duck meat, 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 Spicy Mango Salsa.
