1 x bottled jalapeno pepper, seeded and ribbed (optional)
24 x round or triangular tortilla chips

 Method :
Open can, discard lid. Hold a small wire mesh strainer or colander over an empty sink; dump can of tuna into strainer, hold over sink until all of the liquid has drained. (To be sure all of the liquid has drained, gently press on tuna in strainer with the back of a spoon.) Place tuna in a bowl; flake into small pieces with a fork. Carefully mince jalapeno pepper, if using; stir into tuna. Arrange chips on a large, microwave-safe platter or shallow casserole. Sprinkle flaked tuna evenly over chips, then sprinkle with cheese. Microwave on HIGH (100%) 30 seconds, rotate dish. Microwave on HIGH (100%) 30 to 60 seconds longer, until cheese is melted. Cool about 1 minute.
