Capirotada is the Mexican bread pudding eaten during Lent and Holy Week, with stale birote bread soaked in piloncillo-and-cinnamon syrup, layered with raisins, peanuts, queso fresco and topped with sprinkles.
Capirotada has Spanish roots in a medieval dish called capirotada de capirote (the layered Lenten pudding from Castile), brought to Mexico in the 16th century by Spanish nuns. The Tapatio version uses stale birote bread, piloncillo syrup with cinnamon and cloves, raisins, peanuts and queso fresco, with multicoloured sugar sprinkles (grageas) on top. The dish is symbolic of the Passion of Christ in Catholic Mexico; each ingredient represents an element of the crucifixion. It appears across Guadalajara fondas through March and April.
