Steps:
- 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 jalapeno in the center of 1 breast half. Roll the 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 the 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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season one side of chicken breasts with half the cumin, half the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; arrange chicken breasts with seasoned sides down in the hot oil. Fry until chicken is lightly browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Season the top of each chicken breast with the remaining cumin, remaining garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; flip chicken and cook until other side is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. If the skillet gets dry, pour in just enough juice from the salsa to keep it from burning.
- Transfer chicken breasts to a 9x9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. Loosen all the drippings from the skillet with a little more juice from the salsa and pour on top of chicken breasts. Spoon salsa over cheese layer.
- Bake chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

- Crockpot Mexican Chicken. This recipe is so much more than just shredded chicken. Thanks to the chipotle peppers in adobo, it’s smokey, sweet, and wonderfully spicy.
- Mexican Chicken and Rice. This is best made in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan. The reason is, you’ll want to cook everything in the same pot so you can use all the juices for maximum flavor.
- Mexican Chicken Casserole. Many Mexican or Tex-Mex meals are full of tomatoes, making them fresh and acidic. This recipe, on the other hand, is crazy-creamy and brimming with chicken flavor.
- Skinny Mexican Chicken Skillet. This is the perfect recipe if you want to indulge in Mexican flavors without going overboard on cheese. Loaded with lean chicken breast, corn, and beans, it’s packed with color, terrific texture, and tons of flavor.
- Mexican Chicken and Beans. This recipe only calls for six ingredients (one of which is water), and I’ll bet you have the rest ready to go. Even if you don’t have any Mexicorn, you can use regular easily enough.
- Chicken Enchiladas. Ever since I was a kid, I haven’t been able to resist chicken enchiladas. To this day, I order them every time we go out for Mexican food.
- Grilled Chicken Street Tacos. Street tacos are essentially regular tacos; only they’re typically smaller and therefore easier to grab and go. Also, these are usually only filled with meat, fresh salsa, and onion, making them much lighter.
- Chicken Burritos. Remember that Mexican chicken you already made in the Crockpot? This is the ideal recipe to use it in! Of course, you can also cook the chicken on the stove with lots of taco seasoning if you’re in a rush.
- Chicken Chimichangas. Chimichangas aren’t as prevalent as burritos, which is a real shame because I love their crunchy texture. In my opinion, when filling and burrito or chimichanga, you should use either shredded chicken or chop it relatively small.
- Mexican Chicken Soup. If you have a sniffle or aren’t feeling great, you’ll have to try this fresh and spicy Mexican chicken soup. The peppers will help to clear your airways, and I bet it will brighten you up in no time.
