1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure the chicken is well shredded for easier rolling.

2. 2

   Warm the corn tortillas slightly in a microwave or on a dry skillet to make them pliable, about 10-15 seconds per side.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Warm tortillas prevent cracking when rolled.

3. 3

   Place a small amount of the chicken mixture near one edge of each warm tortilla.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Do not overfill, or they will be hard to roll and might burst.

4. 4

   Roll each tortilla tightly into a cigar shape and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

   Ongeveer 3 min

   Tip van de kok: Roll as tightly as possible to keep the filling secure during frying.

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.

6. 6

   Carefully place a few flautas into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Frying in batches helps maintain oil temperature and ensures even crisping.

7. 7

   Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

   Ongeveer 6 min

   Tip van de kok: Turn them gently with tongs to ensure all sides are evenly browned.
