Tamales are a traditional Panamanian dish made from masa (a dough made from corn) that is filled with a variety of ingredients, such as chicken, pork, or vegetables. The masa is spread onto a corn husk, and the filling is placed in the center. The husk is then folded and steamed until the tamale is cooked through. Tamales are often served with a side of salsa or hot sauce, adding a spicy kick to the dish. They are a popular choice for breakfast or as a snack throughout the day. Tamales are a delicious and comforting treat that is loved by many in Panama.
