Roll the Flautas
Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet for 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable. Take a tortilla, add about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on one end, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Fry the Flautas
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the rolled flautas, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
