Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2
Brush the pork tenderloin on all sides with the olive oil.
3
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, ground cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, and fresh orange juice.
4
Spread the spice mixture on the pork, rubbing it in gently.
5
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork for 2 to 3 minutes on all sides, until lightly browned.
6
Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature registers between 145-160°F.
7
Remove the roasted pork to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch pieces.

Spread the cut side of the bread with yellow mustard.

For each sandwich, layer the sliced Cuban pork, deli ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickle slices.

Cook the sandwiches in a preheated panini press for about 3 to 5 minutes, until each side is golden and the cheese is melted.

If using a grill pan, cook for about 3 minutes using an iron skillet or grill press to weight down the sandwiches. Flip and cook another 3 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
