Instructions

  • Prepare a bowl that you will use to mix all the ingredients.
  • Now you have to drain the tuna and place the drained tuna into the bowl.
  • Add the celery, onion, pickles and jalapeño peppers finely chopped with the tuna. You can chop them with a knife or using your kitchen robot. 
  • Once you have all the dry ingredients in the bowl you can mix them using a fork. 
  • Add the mayonnaise and dijon mustard. You can start with one tablespoon each and add more depending on your taste. 
  • Spread the butter on the external side of the sandwich bread and stuff your sandwiches with the tuna mixture.
  • Place one cheese slice (or two) on top of the tuna filling and put the other slice of bread to prepare your sandwich. 
  • Grill your tuna melts using a pan, or if you have an oven try is even easier to grill your tuna melts preserving the cheesy filling into your oven. 
  • Cut each tuna melt and enjoy.
