The Cubano, the Cuban sandwich that makes our bocas de agua every time we think of it, gets an amazing transformation here. Chicken is topped with pickles and cheese then roasted, and served with a buttery mustard sauce. This preparation deconstructs the sandwich, swaps proteins, and delivers deliciousness, in little time. Hasta luego, sandwich!
