Cubano Sandwich

This quick and easy cubano sandwich is so hearty and flavorful. It’s a great sandwich for lunch or a quick dinner. 

Last week I made a large batch of slow cooker pulled pork , which, by the way, is so easy to make and it’s so tender, juicy and delicious.  What I love about having pulled pork on hand (it freezes beautifully) is it’s versatility.  

It’s great tossed with barbecue sauce for pulled pork sandwiches, you can use it for tacos, quesadillas and even  southwestern pulled pork egg rolls, it’s all so good!

My latest  creation are these Cubano sandwiches.  They’re a snap to make, so they’re perfect for both a quick dinner, maybe paired with some south of the border sausage and black bean soup, or a delicious lunch.  

What really makes these sandwiches sing is the combination of yellow mustard and dill pickles, it gives the sandwiches a great tanginess. I also love the combination of the smoky deli ham and the pulled pork and, of course, cheese makes everything better.
