Tinaktak is a Chamoru dish from the Marianas, comprising finely chopped pieces of meat with vegetables and cooked in coconut milk.[1] The name comes from the Chamoru word taktak, an onomatopoeia from the sound of meat being chopped/tenderized.[2] Traditionally, it is from chopped meat, but oftentimes ground meat is used.[3] It is oftentimes cooked with beef in coconut milk, tomatoes, green beans and served with rice.[4][5] Although local vegetables are often used, other vegetables can be substituted.[3] Meatless grounds can be used to make the dish vegan.[6] During Lent, seafood can be used as the protein.[7] Tinaktak is often cooked in many households throughout the Mariana Islands but is also served at parties and restaurants.[6]
