A traditional dish of Latin America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. In Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean Coast of Colombia, and also throughout Panama, it is similar to a tamale and said to have originating from Canary Islands. In Central American cuisine, it more closely resembles a pasty (a type of British pie) or an Italian calzone. There are different types of flours to make dough, depending on the type of pasteles, including pasteles de masa (The dough or masa can consist of a combination of grated green banana, green plantain, taro and pumpkin, cassava or rice.), pasteles de yuca (cassava) and pasteles de arroz (rice) and plátano (plantain).
