Cut corn tortillas into strips about one inch by a third of an inch to a half an inch thick.

Heat a teaspoon of oil in a small cast iron skillet over high heat.

Fry the tortilla strips until they are crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally for a few minutes.

Remove the crispy tortilla strips and set aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, heat the salsa until warm, keeping it on a simmer.

In a separate small cast iron skillet, add about a teaspoon and a half of butter and heat until foamy.

Crack an egg into the skillet with the butter and cook for about 30 seconds to a minute until the white is set.

Flip the egg carefully and season with salt and paprika, then turn off the heat.

Assemble the dish by topping the crispy tortilla strips with warm salsa, then adding the fried egg on top.

Sprinkle cotija cheese and diced avocado over the top, and garnish with sliced Serrano peppers.
