Treat your ingredients with care...

• Pork — For the best flavor and tenderness, use leftover roasted pork or slow-cooked pork shoulder. If using store-bought roasted pork, make sure it is thinly sliced.
• Mojo sauce — Adjust the amount of garlic and citrus juices according to your taste preferences. You can also add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Tips & Tricks

• To add extra crunch, lightly toast the bread rolls before assembling the sandwich.
• For a smoky flavor, grill the pork slices for a few minutes before assembling the sandwich.
• Customize your Bocadillo de Cerdo by adding sliced avocado, roasted peppers, or caramelized onions.
