Alicia lives in northern Mexico and proposes to her change: It is in a state where it is left to rest without being baked. Adding milk when serving will condense the milk and make it moist instead of dry. Also add peanuts, walnuts (without shells), grated coconut and dragees (small colored balls). Place the sliced bananas and grated cheese on top of all the layers of bread, not between them.
