For many, carlota de limón is a nostalgic flavor of their childhood. We’re excited for this opportunity to share this recipe, which is near and dear to our Mexico program staff.
In our Mexico children’s program, our two amazing cooks prepare meals 7 days a week for children. If you’ve ever been blessed with the opportunity to visit, you know they do their jobs joyfully, with inviting smiles and hearts.
