Assemble the Flautas
Take a corn tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and cheese filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick, if necessary. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Fry the Flautas
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the flautas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Drain and Serve
Remove the flautas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro on the side.
