Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings 4 extra-long toothpicks 4 teaspoons chili powder, divided 4 teaspoons ground cumin, divided 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast 2 teaspoons chipotle flakes 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano salt and ground black pepper, to taste ½ red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips ½ onion, sliced into thin strips 1 fresh jalapeño pepper, sliced into thin strips 2 teaspoons corn oil ½ lime, juiced Directions Place toothpicks in a small bowl and cover with water; let them soak to keep them from burning while cooking. Mix 2 teaspoons chili powder and 2 teaspoons cumin in a shallow dish. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken breast on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle. Pound each half using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle each breast half equally with remaining chili powder, remaining cumin, chipotle flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place 1/2 the bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño in the center of 1 breast half. Roll chicken from the tapered end upward and use 2 toothpicks to secure. Repeat with other breast, spices, and vegetables and secure with remaining toothpicks. Roll each roll-up in chili-cumin mixture in the shallow dish while drizzling with olive oil until evenly covered. Place roll-ups in the air fryer basket with the toothpick side facing up. Set timer for 6 minutes. Turn roll-ups over. Continue cooking in the air fryer until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 5 minutes more. Drizzle lime juice evenly on roll-ups before serving.
