Spanish-Style Pork loin Sandwich (Bocadillo de lomo)
Bocadillo de lomo (also called a bocata de lomo) is a Spanish-style sandwich made with pork tenderloin fillets, Spanish cheese, and some fresh tomato. The bocadillo is traditionally served up on a baguette, called a ‘barra’ in Spain, and the pork is cooked a la plancha - meaning that it's grilled to perfection.
