Carimañolas are a popular snack in Panama that are made from yuca (cassava) dough filled with ground meat, typically beef or chicken. The yuca dough is seasoned with salt and then stuffed with the meat filling. The filled dough is then shaped into a cylindrical form and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Carimañolas are often served with a side of salsa or hot sauce for dipping. They are a delicious and savory snack that is perfect for parties or as a quick bite on the go. Carimañolas are loved by both locals and visitors alike.
