Gluten-free Pork Banh Mi Stacks

This MVP recipe is a delicious play on a Vietnamese street-food classic, featuring crispy bread and protein-packed pork tenderloin. If you’re cooking your game day fare indoors, the bread can be toasted using an oven broiler, and the pork can be cooked using a grill pan on the stovetop or roasted in the oven.
