Next, fry this sauce in a saucepan with a tablespoon of hot butter. Leave over medium heat for 20 minutes or until you see that the oil floats on the surface. Then, season with salt and let it boil for a few.
Separately, in a large frying pan, heat enough butter and fry the corn tortillas until they are slightly crispy. Don’t leave them in the oil for more than 30 seconds.
