Drain and rinse the canned artichoke hearts, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut each artichoke heart into quarters and set aside.
Slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion into thin strips.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers and red onion to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet and gently toss with the vegetables.
Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables and artichokes. Stir well to coat evenly and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Keep them covered with a clean towel to stay warm.
To assemble the fajitas, fill each tortilla with a generous portion of the artichoke and vegetable mixture. Optionally, garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, salsa, and sour cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
