2 servings · 10 min prep · 10 min cook

Ingredients

For the sandwiches

• 1 cup cooked carnitas or roast pork
• 4 ham slices
• 4 slices cheese
• 1/2 cup pickled jalapenos
• 3-4 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise
• 2 bread rolls

For the chipotle mayo

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 chipotle in adobo
• 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• squeeze of lime

Steps

1. Heat up a dollop of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup cooked carnitas or roast pork and cook until the underside is crisping up, approximately 5-7 minutes. You can add 4 ham slices to the pan for the last couple minutes of cooking if you want.

   5-7 min

2. For the 3-4 tablespoons chipotle mayo, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 chipotle in adobo, 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, 1 garlic clove and a squeeze of lime in a blender or food processor. Taste for heat level and seasoning.
3. Layer 3-4 tablespoons chipotle mayonnaise, ½ cup diced pickled jalapenos, 4 slices cheese, 1 cup cooked carnitas or roast pork and 4 ham slices on each of the 2 bread rolls.
4. Cook the sandwiches in a skillet over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Press down on the sandwiches with a casserole dish or pan to compress them. You can also add a thin layer of butter to the skillet if you want to crisp up the edges of the sandwich.

   3-4 min per side

5. Cut in half and serve immediately with the 3-4 tablespoons chipotle mayo and ½ cup pickled jalapenos on standby to add to future bites if needed.
