Instant Pot Cuban Pork Chop Sandwiches

Here in the midwest, we love our pork chop sandwiches!  Boneless 1- inch pork chops are budget-friendly and cook up real fast.  These Instant Pot Cuban Pork Chop Sandwiches are a great way to switch up your pork chop sandwich.  These are super flavorful, citrusy, and taste amazing on toasted sourdough bread! 

There is a brewery near my hometown called Two Brothers that makes the most amazing Cuban sandwich.  I will forever be trying to emulate this said sandwich.  I have failed many times, but I think that I have gotten close with this recipe.

I love making pork chop sandwiches in my Instant Pot for a variety of reasons.

1. Pork chop sandwiches are a crowd-pleasing dish to serve at get-togethers and parties.
2. You can cook 10-12 boneless pork chops in just 15 minutes in your Instant Pot.
3. Boneless pork chops turn out perfectly tender every time.

This dish is easy to throw together and makes for a very satisfying sandwich!  You may need to get a few extra ingredients for this dish.
