Carimañolas are a popular Panamanian snack or appetizer made from yuca (cassava) dough that is filled with ground meat, typically beef or chicken. The yuca dough is shaped into a cylindrical form, filled with the meat mixture, and then 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 savory treat that is enjoyed by both locals and visitors in Panama.
