Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent. Add diced potatoes, cook until fork-tender, then stir in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Add cooked and shredded chicken, cook for 5-6 minutes, and set aside.
Heat more oil in a separate skillet. Heat tortillas in the microwave. Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each tortilla and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Fry flautas in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes, flipping as needed. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat for all flautas. Once cooled, remove toothpicks and serve with guacamole, Pico de Gallo, lettuce, crema, queso fresco, and lime juice, if desired.
