Cuban sandwiches with lechón pork are an iconic meal in Cuban fast food. It used to be known as a Cuban mixed sandwich, or a ham and cheese sandwich with roasted pork, mojo and pickles. I like making it at home with leftover pork with mojo if I’m even lucky enough to have any leftover! I guarantee this is a spectacular snack.
