Ingredients

1 pound pork tenderloin
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons sweet relish
1 tablespoon minced shallot
12 2-inch slider or King's Hawaiian rolls
3 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese, each cut into 4 triangles
3/4 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers, patted dry and thinly sliced
5 large romaine leaves, ribs removed, cut into 2-inch strips

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Place pork on a baking sheet and rub with oil, spices, salt, and pepper. Roast until internal temperature reaches 155°F on a meat thermometer, about 20 minutes; cool. Stir together mustard, relish, and shallot. (You can refrigerate the pork and sauce for up to 2 days.)

When ready to assemble sandwiches, thinly slice pork. Spread each roll with 2 teaspoons mustard mixture. Add pork, cheese, peppers, and lettuce. (Heat briefly to melt cheese, if desired.) Serve or cover and chill for up to 2 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.
