Note from Ricardo

If you don’t want to make the pancakes, you can use small fresh tortillas.

This is an easy version of the Peking duck or Beijing duck, which is long and tedious to prepare. I tried to facilitate an easy preparation which is still very pleasant tasting. For those who have the advantage of living near a Chinatown, they can buy the already-cooked and lacquered duck in Chinese groceries. And to go the simplest route, the pancakes could be replaced by small tortillas. Reheat as suggested in the recipe. To dry the duck to my taste, when glazed, I leave my fan on to dry the glaze faster. I know it's a little extreme in the winter, but oh!, the lengths we travel for the sake of authenticity!
