Tamales are a traditional Panamanian dish that is made with masa (corn dough) and filled with various ingredients such as chicken, pork, or vegetables. The masa is spread onto a corn husk, filled with the desired filling, and then wrapped and steamed until cooked. Tamales are often enjoyed during holidays and special occasions and are a labor of love, as they require time and effort to prepare. These savory treats are a true delight for the taste buds.
