MasterCook gives me 112 Cal, 26.5g carbohydrate, 4.2g fiber and 4.3g
protein for the whole recipe using a whole pepper of each colour
(calculated with yellow instead of orange pepper 'cause it's not in the
ingredient database).

Personally, I'd toss in a couple tablespoons EVOO for extra flavour and
smoothness, but that jacks up the calorie count to 351 Cal.

I often do similar, but replace the jalapeno with fresh herbs. Fantastic
on anything. I skip the salt and add several gratings of black pepper
and some hard cheese, like Parmesano Reggiano or Romano if I'm in the mood.
