Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish lightly with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeños, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Drain and chop the canned artichoke hearts into small pieces. Make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the sautéed spinach, artichoke hearts, and the jalapeño-garlic mixture, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
