Step 1
Warm tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium for 20 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 2
Place 3 tablespoons chicken on each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on a plate.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large deep skillet to 350°F over medium-high heat. Oil is ready when a tortilla piece sizzles immediately.
Step 4
Fry flautas 3 at a time, seam-side down, for 2 minutes until deep golden brown, turning once gently.
Step 5
Transfer fried flautas to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining flautas.
Step 6
Pour salsa verde into a wide shallow dish and stir in 0.5 cup sour cream until blended.
Step 7
Arrange flautas in a baking dish. Pour salsa cream over and around them until mostly covered.
Step 8
Top with remaining sour cream drizzled in lines, then scatter onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Step 9
Squeeze lime over the top and serve immediately while flautas are still warm.
