Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Deli-style roast pork
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 6 slices Ham
- 6 slices Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 6 large leaves Leaf lettuce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Lay out the leaf lettuce on a clean, flat surface. Use a paper towel to pat them dry if necessary.
On each leaf, spread a small amount of yellow mustard down the center.
Layer a slice each of ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, and a dill pickle slice on top of the mustard-lined lettuce.
Sprinkle each roll with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently fold in the sides of the lettuce leaf and then roll up tightly like a burrito.
Repeat the process for all 6 lettuce leaves, making 6 rolls in total.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Place the rolls seam side down on the skillet. Cook until the cheese starts to melt and the lettuce is gently browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Remove the rolls from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low carb Cuban rolls as a flavorful snack or meal!
