I had to look it up because I am merely a Mexican food enthusiast:
>**Capirotada** (Spanish pronunciation: [[kapiɾoˈtaða]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Spanish)) or **Capilotade**, also known as **Capirotada de vigilia**, is a [traditional](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_food) [Mexican food](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_food) similar to a [bread pudding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_pudding) that is usually eaten during the [Lenten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent) period. It is one of the dishes served on [Good Friday](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday).
**Common ingredients**
There are various preparations of the dish. It is generally composed of toasted [bolillo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolillo) (which is like the French [baguette](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baguette)) and soaked in a mulled [syrup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrup) made of the following: [whole cane sugar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_cane_sugar), which is known as [piloncillo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piloncillo); [clove](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clove); and [cinnamon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon) sticks. Some of the typical ingredients include nuts, seeds, and dried (and sometimes fresh) fruits, among these are: [apples](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apples), [dates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_dactylifera), [raisins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raisin), [apricots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apricot), [peanuts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut), [pecans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecan), [almonds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almond), [pine nuts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_nuts) and [walnuts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walnut). In addition, aged cheese is added, which might explain why some people’s recipes call for milk.[^([8])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capirotada#cite_note-mexico-8)
**Uncommon ingredients**
Many *capirotada* recipes do not include any meat due to the dish’s traditional association with Lent, though some do include meat as a layer.[^([8])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capirotada#cite_note-mexico-8) Some versions of *capirotada* include tomato and onion for the syrup. Other iterations make use of cilantro, bay leaves, banana, or sprinkles.[^([13])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capirotada#cite_note-:2-13)
