1
Prepare the Catfish
Season the catfish fillets with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Grill or pan-fry the fillets over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomato and slice the green onions. Set aside.
3
Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Mix well and set aside.

4
Assemble the Quesadilla
On one half of each flour tortilla, spread a generous layer of tartar sauce. Then, layer the cooked catfish pieces, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, green chiles, and the cheese mixture. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

5
Cook the Quesadilla
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.

6
Serve
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with additional tartar sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
