4. For the pineapple salsa, finely dice the remaining pineapple and put in a bowl with the chopped red onion, chillies and most of the coriander. Add a splash of tequila and the juice of ½ lime, season and set aside.
5. Mix the chipotle mayo ingredients in a bowl and season. To serve, warm the tortillas in the oven. Slice the avocados, shred the lettuce and toss in a serving bowl with the juice of the remaining ½ lime and some salt and black pepper.
6. Using 2 forks, shred the duck meat, then mix back into the sauce (discard the skin and bones). Add a squeeze more lime and seasoning, then serve in the tortillas with the mayo, salad and salsa, remaining coriander and lime wedges for squeezing.
