Method

Light the barbecue and wait until the flames have died down, or preheat the grill to high. Thread the tomatoes and spring onions onto metal skewers, brush with olive oil and barbecue or grill for 5-6 mins until charred. Roughly chop and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the chopped garlic, chilli paste, half the lime juice and half the coriander. Set aside.
Rub the steaks with the cut sides of the remaining garlic clove, then brush with the remaining lime juice. Cook on the barbecue or in a griddle pan over a high heat for 3-4 mins each side or until cooked to your liking, then transfer to a board to rest for 5 mins. Meanwhile, cook the corn on the cobs on the barbecue or under the grill for 5-6 mins, turning often, until charred.
Lay 3 tortilla wraps on a board and sprinkle with the cumin. Strip the corn from the cobs into long strips by standing each cob upright on a board and slicing down between the kernels and the cob with a sharp knife. Thinly slice the steaks and mix in a bowl with the corn, chilli and remaining coriander. Divide between the tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Lay the remaining tortillas on top and press down firmly. Barbecue or grill for 2-3 mins each side until charred and the cheese has melted. Cut into wedges and serve with the salsa.
