For an extra layer of flavor, consider toasting the English muffin halves lightly before assembling the tuna melts. If you prefer a milder flavor, rinse the pickled jalapeño slices under cold water before using. Experiment with different cheeses! Pepper jack or Gruyere would also be delicious. A pinch of red pepper flakes added to the tuna mixture will provide an extra kick of heat.
