Cuban Sandwich

A Cuban sandwich layers citrus-marinated mojo roast pork, sweet ham, Swiss cheese, yellow mustard, and dill pickles inside crisp Cuban bread, then presses the whole thing flat until the crust shatters and the melted cheese turns to glue. The contrast of tangy pork, salty ham, sharp mustard, and cool pickle is the entire point, and pressing it under a weight gives you that classic griddled crunch with no special equipment.
