  5. 5

    Warm the tortillas. Place some shredded chicken on each tortilla, roll them up tightly to form flautas, and keep them wrapped in a clean towel to stay warm and prevent them from breaking. (Green tortillas are made with nopal, white with corn, and red with guajillo chili; these are often available at supermarkets.)

    Once all 36 flautas are rolled, heat oil in a skillet and fry the flautas until golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet when done.
