Tampa Cuban Sandwich Recipe - Galley Gourmet with Jay

Cuban bread

🥗Healthier: whole wheat bread

💰Cheaper: French bread

Whole wheat bread adds fiber, while French bread is more accessible.

Swiss cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories, and American cheese is often cheaper.

roast pork

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Grilled chicken is leaner, while pork shoulder is more affordable.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey ham is lower in fat, and bologna is a budget-friendly alternative.

In a large pan, add pork and Mojo marinade. Cook on medium/low heat. Bring to a simmer.

Mix the mayonnaise and mustard together.

Slice the bread lengthwise and spread an even layer of the mayo-mustard mixture on both the top and bottom halves.

Drain the pork and add an even layer to the bottom half of the bread. Top with ham slices, cheese and pickles.

Add the top half of the bread and press down. If using Cuban bread, cut to serving size.

Spray nonstick cooking spray on a sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap the Cuban. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes on each side using something heavy to press down. Or use a sandwich press.

Cut in half and enjoy!
