Having grown up in Florida I commend your efforts! It's not easy to get a "proper" cubano without the bread, so now that I've left the state I'm just glad to have a sandwich that keeps the basic flavors without trying to fancy them up (tomatoes and avocado are delicious, but NO.)

And I have to drop my personal favorite key lime pie recipes, both of which I've made dozens of times and they WORK:

A Cubano sandwich and the Miami Grand Prix make a great combo! I haven't had a Cubano since I stopped eating meat a while back and this post instantly made me crave those classic flavours, so I threw together a meat-free version. I spent Friday free-practicing some ideas, qualified my starting grid of ingredients on Saturday, and had a great meal ready to go for race day Sunday. Many thanks for the inspiration.
