How to make Grilled Tortilla Pizza with Marinara Sauce

1. Boiling, blanching and peeling tomatoes:
2. On the end opposite the core of each tomato, use a sharp knife to score an "X".
3. Boil a pot of water.
4. Add tomatoes to the boiling water.
5. Boil for 30-60 seconds.
6. Remove tomatoes from the boiling water and immediately put the tomatoes in an ice-water-filled bowl.
7. As they chill, you will see the skins start to pull away from the meat of the tomato.
8. Remove the tomatoes from the ice water. The peels should come off easily.
9. Marinara sauce:
10. Break up the tomatoes by hand, until chunky.
11. Place a saucepan over medium high heat.
12. Add the olive oil and saute the garlic until fragrant but not browned.
13. Add the bay leaf, tomatoes, black pepper, oregano and salt.
14. Simmer over medium for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce becomes thick.
15. Keep aside.
16. Assembling:
17. Preheat the cast iron skillet over high heat.
18. Place the tortilla on a cutting board.
19. Spread the marinara evenly over the tortilla, using more or less depending on the size of your tortilla.
20. Add the onion, sweet corn kernels and bell pepper.
21. Break the mozzarella and cheddar cheese into small pieces, and place them alternately evenly across the top.
22. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt if desired - you may not need to depending on the saltiness of your sauce and cheese, so taste each component and see if you need to add more.
23. Carefully slide the tortilla (using a spatula to help) onto the skillet and immediately lower the heat to low for 6-7 minutes then 2 minutes on medium.
24. Cook until the cheese melts - about 9 minutes.
25. Sprinkle with some black pepper powder.
26. Devour!
