Cuban Sandwich

pork tenderloin

olive oil

orange juice

lime juice

garlic

oregano

cumin

salt and pepper

Cuban bread

Swiss cheese (sliced)

pickle chips

mustard

butter

Place the olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a bowl.  Whisk to combine.

Place the pork in the bowl and spoon the marinade over the top. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.

Preheat a grill or skillet to medium high heat. Add the pork and cook for 7-9 minutes per side or until a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees F.

Let the pork rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice the meat.

Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Cut the bread crosswise into 4 equal sized pieces.

Place half of the cheese slices on the bottom pieces of bread. Top with layers of ham, pork and pickles.

Add the rest of the cheese on top of the pickles. Spread the mustard over the top pieces of bread, then place the tops on each sandwich.

Melt the butter in a pan. Place one sandwich in the pan. Use a heavier pan, such as a cast iron skillet to press down on the sandwich. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat the process with the remaining sandwiches.

You can also cook your sandwiches in a panini press according to manufacturer instructions.

Cut the sandwiches in half, then serve.
