Rinse the chicken breast and place it in a pot.

Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the chicken sit for 10 minutes.

Shred the poached chicken into small pieces.

Season the shredded chicken with chili powder, salt, and pepper.

Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat and warm the corn tortillas until soft.

Place a couple tablespoons of the shredded chicken on one end of each tortilla and roll them tightly.

Set the rolled tortillas aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan until it reaches 350°F, indicated by sizzling when a wooden stick is placed in the oil.

Fry the rolled tortillas in the hot oil until golden brown on each side.

Remove the flautas and place them on a plate to drain excess oil.
