Tamales are a traditional Panamanian dish made from masa (a dough made from corn) that is filled with various ingredients such as chicken, pork, or vegetables. The masa is spread on a corn husk, then the filling is added, and the tamale is wrapped and steamed until cooked. Tamales are often served with a side of salsa or hot sauce for added flavor. They are a popular dish during holidays and special occasions, and they can be enjoyed as a main course or a snack.
