Chicharron Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Chicharron Sandwich Directions

1

Prepare the Sweet Potato Fries

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut sweet potatoes into fries and toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until crispy, flipping halfway through.

2

Prepare the Pork Loin

Slice the pork loin thinly. In a bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture onto the pork slices.

3

Cook the Pork

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork slices and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until well charred and cooked through.

4

Assemble the Sandwich

Place a layer of sweet potato fries on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the charred pork slices. Drizzle with gulf sauce and add lettuce and tomato if desired. Place the top half of the bun and serve.
