A Cuban sandwich known as a Cubano is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich variation that originated in Florida (Key West and Tampa) by Cuban immigrants who needed a filling portable lunch. There are two versions of the sandwich: Tampa adds salami while Key West's version sticks to pork and ham. Miami has Cubanos of both styles and all three cities compete over who has the best version of the sandwich. The combination of flavorful juicy pork Swiss cheese pickles mustard and Cuban bread makes this dish an undeniable hit.

Award-winning Cuban sandwich from El Cochinito
While versions vary the essential ingredient is the roasted pork traditionally marinated in a mojo sauce made with orange juice lime juice garlic oregano and cumin. Since the pork is the star of the show pay attention to the pork you use and take the time to make the Cuban version if you can. If not use quality pork slices leftover grilled pork or roasted pork.
Our recipe brings a crispy spicy salty creamy decadent sandwich to the table that is a complete meal in itself. Serve it hot or cold and treat your guests to the accompanying yucca chips or fufu plantains although the sandwich alone is enough to earn you a round of applause.
“This traditional Cuban sandwich features ingredients that are flavorful bright and vibrant on their own. Together they unite with two pork preparations to create a classic sandwich that’s grilled on the stovetop until the bread is perfectly crispy. Delicious!” —Diana Andrews
