Sauté onion and corn in oil about 3 minutes. Add squash, sauces and spices. Continue to cook another 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook additional 3-4 minutes. Adjust salt, pepper and chili powder to taste. Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet. Immerse tortillas one at a time to soften and seal. Remove from oil and lay flat on paper towels. Place grated cheese on a tortilla and then top with second and fold over. Place quesadillas on a cookie sheet and bake immediately at 350 degrees, just long enough to melt the cheese.

Fresh Water Fish
Here are many different ways you can prepare fresh water fish.
PAN FRIED: Rinse fish in fresh water and pat dry. Salt lightly and coat in a mixture of 1/2 flour and 1/2 cornmeal. In a heavy skillet or griddle (we use cast iron), heat cooking oil until a smattering of flour sizzles lightly when dropped in. Gently lay the fish in the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan. Plan to turn the fish only once. Cook the whole fish for 3 minutes on a side and add 1 minute per side for every inch of thickness over 2 inches. Fry to a golden brown and serve immediately. We always serve cornbread, coleslaw, and fried potatoes with fried fish.
GRILLED: Heat a very clean grill to hot. Fish tend to stick, so prepare the grill and brush it with cooking oil immediately before putting the fish on. An hour before cooking, rinse fish in fresh water and pat dry. Lightly pepper the fish inside and out. Marinate the fish in cooking oil and lemon zest or seasoning salt of your choice for 10 minutes. (We prefer a Cajun prepared mix available in any grocery store.) Put fish on hot grill and cook for 3 minutes on a side and add 1 minute per side for each inch of thickness over 2 inches. Flesh should bounce back when pressed with the finger. Do not overcook and plan to serve immediately.
