I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from my sandwich. It was still delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sandwich was dry. I think I might have cooked the pork for too long.

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover pork. I always have a bunch of pulled pork in the freezer, so this is a perfect way to use it up.
