Place toothpicks in a small bowl and cover with water to let them soak to keep them from burning when cooking.

Preheat an air fryer to 400°F.
Step 4
Place chicken breast on a flat work surface and slice horizontally through the middle.
Step 5
Pound each half using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 6
Sprinkle each breast half equally with remaining chili powder, remaining cumin, chipotle flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 7
Place 1/2 the bell pepper, shallot, and jalapeno in the center of 1 breast half.
Step 8
Roll the chicken from the tapered end upward and use 2 toothpicks to secure. Repeat with other breast, spices, and vegetables.
Step 9
Place the roll-ups in the air-fryer basket with the toothpick side facing up and set timer for 6 minutes.

Turn roll-ups over and continue cooking until juices run clear and internal temperature is at least 165°F, for about 5 minutes more.
