Similar to a Mexican Tamale, this traditional Nicaraguan dish is commonly enjoyed on holidays or special occasions. The filling is made of masa, seasonings, meat, sliced potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, onions, olives, and either prunes or raisins. The mixture is then rolled up in a plantain leaf and boiled or steamed to create a hearty meal that is the perfect balance of salty, spicy, with a hint of sweet.
