Ingredients
- Taco Seasoning
- Rotisserie Chicken
- Monterey Jack Cheese
- Chopped Green Chiles
- Soft Flour Tortillas
- Toothpicks
- Salt
- Canola Oil
- Sour Cream
- Guacamole
- Pico

Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the taco seasoning and the chicken and toss to coat.
- Stir in the cheese and green chilies.
- Working with 1 tortilla at a time, spoon about ⅓ cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Use your fingers to press the chicken mixture into a tight line across the middle of the tortilla.
- Tightly roll the tortilla around the filling; secure the tortilla in place using one toothpick. (Weave the toothpick through the tortillas where they overlap to close, parallel to the roll).
- Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture and tortillas.
- Preheat the oven to 250°.
- Heat ½-inch of oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until it registers 375°.
- Fry 4 flautas, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet; keep warm in oven. Continue frying until all flautas are cooked.
- Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
