Prepare the sauce, whipping these ingredients to a smooth texture and then chill. Top the pizza shell with an even layer of the sauce, spreading it out so as to leave about 3/4" of the crust edge exposed.

Sprinkle layers of the vegetables, (except for 1/6 cup each of the red and Jalapeño peppers), over the sauced shell.

Finish topping with a sprinkling of the cheeses.

Garnish with the remaining red and green Serrano and Jalapeño peppers.

Slice in wedges or squares. Serve chilled; or warm, slightly melting the cheese topping under a broiler. Coma y goce!
