Signature Duck Carnitas Taco Kit for 4

This dish was featured in Bon Appetit’s Taco Nation and helped Nixta win a James Beard Award! To make this iconic taco, duck is slowly confited over 14 hours, and it’s shredded and topped with tangy and garlicky salsa cruda, crisp cilantro, mild thinly-sliced onions, and some radish for a little bite!

Nixta Taquería isn’t your typical taco shop. Founded in 2019 by James Beard Award-winning chef Edgar Rico and Sara Mardanbigi, it toes the line between traditional and unconventional. On the traditional side, they’re making all of their own masa and tortillas in-house from heirloom Mexican corn. And on the unconventional side, they’re filling those tortillas with duck confit carnitas and yellowfin tuna with furikake and microgreens. Nixta has racked up accolades for its fun atmosphere, incredible food, and community-minded mission (it’s the home of Austin’s first free community fridge), and Chef Rico won the James Beard Award for Emerging Chef in 2022. It’s truly a taquería unlike any other, and it’s now shipping nationwide!
