cuban sandwich like no other

Cuban sandwiches normally have ham but I tried using chorizo and green pepper instead, then grilled it using a brick the way a lot of Cubans do. Was very good and adjusted the recipe due to burning the first time I made this. Please see note below.

How To Make cuban sandwich like no other

4Place the wrapped, flattened sandwich on the grill and top with a brick. Close the lid and grill for 4 – 5 minutes per side.

6**Note as you can see in the photo my grill was on med-high and burned my sandwich. I have adjusted the recipe down to medium which work better on fallowing tries. Please remember all grills heat differently so you may need to also adjust a bit.
