Carimañolas are a popular Panamanian snack or appetizer made with yuca dough that is filled with ground meat, typically beef or chicken, along with onions, peppers, and spices. The filled dough is then shaped into a cylindrical form and deep-fried until golden and crispy. Carimañolas are often served with a side of salsa or hot sauce for dipping and are a delicious and satisfying treat.
