Cubano Tacos Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Prepare the pork: Using a sharp knife, score the top of the pork in a criss-cross pattern. Rub with 1½ teaspoons salt and 1½ teaspoons pepper, then set in a large baking dish.
• Make the glaze: Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Whisk in the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, the cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Add the Captain Morgan® Sliced Apple Spiced Rum and whisk until combined. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly and has the consistency of pancake syrup.
• Remove 5 tablespoons of the glaze and set aside.
• Use a basting brush and some of the remaining glaze to coat the pork in a thick layer of glaze.
• Place the pork in the oven and roast, basting again with more glaze halfway through, for 65-75 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
• While the pork roasts, make the spicy mustard sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, mayonnaise, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and cayenne until smooth.
• Remove the pork from the oven, then pour the reserved glaze over and spread evenly. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
• Cut the pork into ½-inch (1.24 cm) slices, then chop into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• To assemble the tacos, sprinkle ¼ cup (25 g) shredded Swiss cheese onto a warm tortilla. Layer with about ½ ounce deli ham, about 2 ounces of roasted pork, 3-4 pickle slices, and a drizzle of spicy mustard sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Cook the steak on 1 side until there are dark grill marks and it is beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 5 minutes for medium rare, or 7 minutes for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, heat the corn tortillas in a pan over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until softened and just beginning to brown in spots, about 1 minute per side. Wrap the toasted tortillas in foil to keep warm.

Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Reduce the heat of the grill to medium. Place the tortillas on the grill and grill for approximately 10 seconds per side to make pliable. Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the ingredients evenly over 1 half of each tortilla.
