Cuban Sandwich
When I see a Cuban sandwich on a restaurant menu, I usually order it. There is something so delicious about the crispy bread with spicy mustard, dill pickles, tender pork, salty ham, and melted Swiss cheese. I recently made a batch of (Cuban pork roast) and I had some leftover meat so I made some Cuban sandwiches with it. My husband, daughter, and I LOVED them (although my daughter took the Swiss cheese off of hers). My son wasn’t a huge fan–he didn’t like the pickles or mustard on the sandwich.

YUM!!!!!
We love Cuban sandwiches and your version has made my mouth water.
I have never had a Cuban sandwich, but it sure looks delicious!
The cuban is one great sandwich! I ate so many of them in college!
I haven’t had one of these in awhile. Your recipe makes it look easy to make at home.
Oh super yum, I want a big ol sandwich now!
I used to own a DELI and this was one of my best selling items on the menu-people here in florida “LOVE THEM”.
It has been ages since I last had a good cuban sandwich. This recipe comes in really handy. Thanks for sharing, Pam.
that looks delicious, I love a Cuban! 🙂
classic. i might be tempted to squish mine as flatly as possible, but other than that, this is perfection. 🙂
I love Cuban’s, too. It is great that you used the carnitas for this sandwich. What a great way to change things up. My girls don’t like swiss cheese either, which I always think is funny for some reason.
