Carefully cut kernels from cob, in sections if possible, using a sharp knife. Transfer kernels to a large bowl; cover to keep warm. Cook tortillas on grill plate for 30 seconds on each side or until light grill marks appear. Cover to keep warm.
3.Heat remaining oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and beans; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until heated through. Add to corn in bowl.Stir in coriander, lime rind and juice; season to taste.
4.Fold remaining harissa through yoghurt in a small bowl; season to taste.
5.Divide corn mixture and pomegranate seeds among tortillas; fold in half. Top with sliced jalapeño and coriander. Serve tortillas with harissa yoghurt and lime cheeks.

After chargrilling tortillas, immediately rest them in a U-shape as they cool, this will prevent them cracking when you fold them to serve.
