Capirotada is a Mexican Bread Pudding, which contains cheese fruit, nuts, and spices and traditionally served during the Lenten period. Capirotada like American bread puddings vary from cook to cook and region. There are even savory versions using tomatoes, onions, etc. I learned how to make this pudding from someone very dear to me. This is his recipe. He is responsible for introducing me to Mexican and Tex/Mex food. I have been in love with Mexican food ever since. When my kids were little they couldn't say Capirotada so I just started telling them we were having Apple-Cheese Pudding.
