Tablespoon Peeled; seeded, diced tomatoes  
Cup Grated Monterey Jack cheese  
Cup Shredded lettuce

In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot,  
add the onions and saute for 1 minute. Add the duck confit and saute for 1  
minute. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tamarind sauce and saute  
for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the green onions and  
remove from the heat. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil for frying.  
When the oil is hot, fry the tortillas, a couple at a time, until  
golden−brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the tortillas from the oil and drain  
on a paper−lined plate. Season the tortillas with salt and pepper. In a  
small mixing bowl, whisk the sour cream, lemon juice and cilantro together.  
Season with salt and pepper. In another small bowl, combine the avocados,  
lime juice, garlic and 2 tablespoons tomatoes, together. Season the mixture  
with salt and pepper. To assemble, lay one tortilla in the center of each  
plate. Place 1/2 cup of the duck mixture on top of each tortilla. Top the  
duck meat with the shredded lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Top with a second  
tortilla and repeat the latter procedure. Top each taco with the remaining  
tortillas. Garnish the tacos with the cilantro sour cream and guacamole.  
this recipe yields 4 servings.
