Carimañolas are a popular Panamanian snack made from yuca (cassava) dough filled with ground meat, typically beef or chicken. The yuca dough is seasoned with salt and formed into a cylindrical shape, then filled with the meat mixture 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 filling snack that can be enjoyed any time of the day.
