Step 1
Toss pork slices with orange juice, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high and cook pork 6 minutes, stirring, until edges brown.
Step 2
Slice rolls in half lengthwise. Spread mustard on one side of each roll.
Step 3
Layer on the mustard side: cooked pork, ham, a few pickles, then Swiss cheese on top.
Step 4
Close the sandwich and brush the outside lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Step 5
Place sandwich in the skillet over medium. Press down hard with a heavy weight (another skillet, cast-iron press, or a spatula) for 3 minutes until golden and cheese melts.
Step 6
Flip, press again for 2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.
