Step 1
Stir sour cream with lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set crema aside.
Step 2
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 20 seconds per side so they're pliable without cracking.
Step 3
Toss shredded chicken with cheddar and jalapeño. Divide evenly among tortillas.
Step 4
Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides. Place seam-side down.
Step 5
Heat oil in the same skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Fry flautas 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 6
Serve hot with lime crema on the side or drizzled over top.
