Pan con Lechón is a traditional Cuban sandwich made by stuffing crispy, shredded roast pork (lechón asado) into a Cuban bread roll, topped with garlicky mojo criollo and sometimes grilled onions or pickles, then pressed lightly for a warm, juicy finish. Originally served at holiday feasts to use up leftover pork, it’s now a street food and cafeteria staple, especially in Miami and eastern Cuban towns. The contrast of crusty bread and succulent pork makes it a beloved, no-frills comfort food.
Common variations include pan con lechón con cebolla and pan con lechón con mojo verde (with green mojo sauce).
