In a bowl, mix chicken, cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Warm tortillas slightly to make them flexible.

Place a spoonful of filling on each tortilla, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Fry flautas until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels, remove toothpicks, and serve with your favorite toppings.
