Preheat the oven to 200ºC /180ºC fan/gas mark 6. Deseed and thinly slice the red pepper. Slice the corn kernels off the cob with a sharp knife (or take your defrosted frozen corn) and mix the kernels with the red pepper slices, one garlic clove (finely chopped), sliced red onion and 2 tsp of the oil. Spread onto a baking tray and roast for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, drain the black beans and place in a bowl with the halved cherry tomatoes, coriander and lime zest and juice. Add the cooked roasted veg and toss well.
Shred the lettuce and divide between two serving plates. Divide the beans between each plate and top with sliced avocado.
Rub the pitta breads with the cut side of the remaining garlic clove and brush lightly with the remaining ½ tsp of oil. Cook on the griddle pan or under the grill for two minutes and cut into fingers. Serve with the salad.
