Duck Tacos with Lime-Pineapple Slaw & Green Sauce

Quick Link

We collaborated with BBQ Ninja and Royal Oak Charcoal to create a taco that you’ll want to add to your regular rotation. The grilled duck holds its own; the slaw brings the right kind of brightness, and the green sauce ties everything together without crowding the plate. It’s a sharp, well-balanced setup that hits the mark whether you’re feeding a few people or a full table.
