step 1

Add 1-2 Tbsp of Shredded Chicken (1/2 cup) to the top quarter of a Tortillas (12) making sure not to have any too close to the edge or it will spill. Roll it up and skewer with a toothpick to keep it closed. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken.

step 2

In a heavy-bottomed frying pan, add the Canola Oil (1/2 cup) and heat over medium heat until shimmering. You can also test the temperature by sticking the end of a wooden spoon into the oil, it’s hot enough when bubbles form as soon as it’s submerged.

step 3

Add the tortillas in 2 batches (or as many will fit), making sure not to crowd them. Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes.

step 4

Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and remove toothpicks. Repeat with remaining flautas.

step 5

Serve warm, topped with Shredded Iceberg Lettuce (to taste), Sour Cream (to taste), Pico de Gallo (to taste), and a squeeze of Lime Wedges (to taste).
