Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!

So glad you set the record straight. Due to this i will forgive the carnitas. Lol Honestly I can agree that that would taste good. Plus it is such a small modification that it would be fine.

As far as pressing a friend of mine bought a brick, washed it really well and wrapped in aluminum foil. Placed the sandwich in a pan on the stove. Then just placed the brick on the sandwich. About 5 minutes later she flips it and puts the brick on it again. Works great!
Yum!

Thank you so much for your kind words! They mean a lot! I hope you enjoy lots of my recipes!

So lets understand, I am speaking of the original…and of course one can experiment with whatever so chosen.

Kevin, I was once a cook at a great local Mexican restaurant — everything was made there except sandwich bread. We made our Cubans with carnitas because the meat was close enough the original Cuban meat…and because we had it for other recipes like tacos, nachos, and more. In contrast to your recipe, our carnitas used a sweet-mustard sauce that we created (think, butter, yellow mustard, brown sugar, and spices) and our own house-made dill pickles. That said, your recipe is perfect for a home cook looking for something new and/or someone who doesn’t have a ton of time and ingredients to make everything from scratch. I appreciate you putting it out. Keep up the great work!

Thank you Kayla! You will love them!
