Steam the corn in a steamer bag for 4 min, or according to steamer bag directions (corn may be boiled or grilled).

In a bowl, combine the garlic, onion, and basil. Carefully remove the corn from the steamer bag, and cut the kernels off, and add to the garlic/onion/basil mixture. Stir and set aside.

In another bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes with the salt and pepper. Mix, and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. To construct quesadillas, place a tortilla in the oil, and fry until lightly browned. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with cheese. Top the cheese with 1/4 of the corn salsa, and 1/4 of the chopped tomatoes. Fold and set on a serving platter. Repeat with remaining tortills.
