JALAPEÑO TUNA MELTS
You can prepare your jalapeño tuna melts with a pan or using an oven tray and have them all prepared with a few minutes of grill into your oven so fast.
Spending a summer in Madrid means surviving the extremely hot temperatures that will help you forgetting which day are you in and what’s the weather forecast for tomorrow (just in case will be even worse than today).
To be honest, I’ve been thinking for some days on fast and easy snack or informal dinners. What a surprise when I found this recipe! It’s probably very common in the UUEE, but not in Spain, and all the ingredients are delicious together, so I decided to give it a try with some jalapeños to make it more spicy.
Ok, maybe I am not the first person that makes this recipe with jalapeño peppers, but if this is the first time you read about this recipe, just give it a try, it’s sooo good!
I could have them for dinner with a good salad and any cold drink with plenty of ice the rest of the summer. You will tell me what do you think

If you have homemade sandwich bread even better, I used one of the recipes you can find on the “bread” section on this website. Of course any store sandwich bread you can buy it’s perfect if you are in a hurry.
