Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cooked ham
  • 8 oz Roasted pork (lechon)
  • 4 oz Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup Pickles
  • 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
  • 1 loaf Gluten-free bread (or cassava bread)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 8 oz of cooked ham, 8 oz of roasted pork, and 4 oz of Swiss cheese into 1-inch cubes. Cut the 1/2 cup of pickles into 1/2-inch pieces. If using the 1 loaf of gluten-free bread, cut it into 1-inch cubes; if using cassava bread, cut it into 1-inch squares.
  2. 2Carefully thread the prepared 1-inch cubes of cooked ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, and gluten-free bread (or cassava bread squares), along with the 1/2-inch pieces of pickles, onto skewers. Alternate the ingredients as you thread them.
  3. 3Brush all sides of the assembled skewers evenly with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. 4Heat a large 12-inch skillet or a grill pan over medium-high heat, aiming for a surface temperature of approximately 375°F (190°C). Carefully place the olive oil-brushed skewers onto the hot surface. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning them gently, until the Swiss cheese is slightly melted and the gluten-free bread (or cassava bread) is golden brown and toasted.
  5. 5Serve the hot Cuban Sandwich Skewers immediately. Offer the 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard in a small bowl on the side for dipping.
