Spanglish Sandwich

One of my all-time favorite actors is Adam Sandler..

But what might surprise you, is my favorite movie of his is actually Spanglish.

Don't get me wrong, I love Chuck and Larry, Big Daddy and the movie that made me fall in love with him, Billy Madison...but Spanglish..it's just one of those movies where I want to pour a glass of wine, fix a sandwich and curl up on the couch with my sunshine.

The sandwich of choice?

Looks delish, right?

I recently found a link to the recipe on pinterest which linked back to thekitchn.com and the recipe for the sandwich that John made Flor during the movie. And without further adieu, I must share this with you because it is so freakin' good!
