Ground chicken is typically cheaper and works well in flautas.

Cook fideo pasta in boiling water with chicken bouillon until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain and set aside the cooked fideo.

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add shredded rotisserie chicken to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Stir in garlic salt, black pepper, and oregano; mix well.

Remove from heat and mix in mozzarella cheese until melted and combined.

Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

Fill each tortilla with the chicken and cheese mixture, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick if needed.

In the same skillet, add more oil and fry flautas until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove flautas and drain on paper towels.

Serve flautas alongside fideo.
