Carimañolas are a delicious and popular snack in Panama. They are similar to empanadas but made with a yuca (cassava) dough instead of wheat flour. The dough is filled with a savory mixture of ground meat, such as beef or chicken, along with onions, garlic, and spices. The filled dough is then shaped into a cylindrical form and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Carimañolas are often enjoyed as a street food snack or served as an appetizer at parties.
