Author Ronaldo Linares: "Sometimes we don’t have a lot of time to prepare a whole meal and need something quick. I always have high-quality deli meat on hand for times like these.

There is no substitute for a true Cuban sandwich, but this recipe is a light, delicious take on the classic." This recipe from Sabores de Cuba, by Ronaldo Linares.
