Carimañolas are a delicious Panamanian snack made from yuca (cassava) dough filled with ground meat, typically beef or chicken. The yuca dough is seasoned with salt and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The filling is made by sautéing ground meat with onions, garlic, and spices. Carimañolas are often served with a side of salsa or hot sauce for dipping. These savory snacks are popular street food in Panama and are enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.
