I made my favorite Cuban sandwich into a quesadilla filled with roast pork (pernil), ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard! Perfect for a quick lunch and a great way to use up my Slow Cooker Pernil.

Cuban Sandwich Quesadilla

For those of you who never heard of a Cuban sandwich, you might think this is a strange combo. A classic Cuban sandwich is made with roast pork (pernil), ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard, butter and garlic on Cuban bread, heated and melted on a panini press. It’s not a low-cal meal by any means, so I lightened it by making it on a tortilla. It has all the flavors of a Cuban sandwich with less calories! More quesadilla recipes you will love are Chicken Quesadilla, Picadillo Quesadillas and BBQ Chicken Quesadillas.

Varieties and Tips:

• If you are not a pork eater, you can swap the pork for leftover chicken or turkey.
• My favorite gluten-free tortillas are Siete brand. For a low-carb wheat option try Ole Xtreme.
