Ingredients for Artichoke Fajitas

  • Onion
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced
  • 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 6-8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Cooked Brown Rice
  • Smoked Gouda Cheese
  • Fat Free Sour Cream
  • ½ cup your favorite salsa

How to Make Artichoke Fajitas

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add drained and quartered artichoke hearts and chili powder (if using). Continue to sauté for another 3-5 minutes, until heated through and slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Warm tortillas. You can quickly heat them on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or warm in a microwave-safe tortilla warmer following the manufacturer's directions. Alternatively, briefly heat them on a gas burner for a few seconds each side.
  4. To assemble the fajitas, layer cooked rice, the artichoke mixture, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa onto each warm tortilla.
  5. Gently roll up the fajitas and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
