Flautas

Ingredients
30 Corn Tortillas
3 lbs. Chicken
Oil for frying
Salsa
Sour Cream
1 Head of Lettuce
Limes

Instructions
1. Cook and once it has cooled, shred the chicken.  It can really be any piece of the chicken cooked any way.  We usually boil breasts or thighs or roast a whole chicken in the oven.
2. Heat tortillas in a pan or for about 40 seconds in the microwave.  You just want them to be flexible enough to roll.
3.  Heat oil in frying pan over medium heat.  You only need about a half inch to an inch deep oil.  While oil is heating roll tortillas around chicken, and stick a toothpick through the middle.  You can use one toothpick for 2 flautas.
3. Fry flautas a few at a time until they are a light golden brown.  Remove from the oil allowing any excess oil to drip off and then let rest on paper towels.
4.  Serve with salsa, sour cream, shredded lettuce and lime juice.
