In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the shredded cheese and salsa. Add salt to taste and mix well.

Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface and divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in a line down the center of each tortilla.
- 3
Roll up the tortillas tightly around the filling to form the flautas.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about half an inch deep, or enough to cover half of the flautas when they are placed in the pan.
- 5
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the flautas seam-side down in the oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- 6
Fry the flautas for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Remove the flautas from the oil and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
- 8
Serve the flautas hot with sour cream and guacamole on the side for dipping.
