Tuna Melt Jalapeño Poppers
About the Recipes
One thing you will notice immediately is that most of our recipes do not have quantities listed for the ingredients. This is by design.
Jalapeños come in many different sizes and shapes (often depending upon the time of year). Their size, the cut you choose (see below) and your own personal tastes will determine how much cream cheese, bacon or other ingredients you put into each pepper. Use your tastes and be sure to experiment a bit.
You will also notice that most directions call for cooking the poppers in an oven. This is because that is the easiest and quickest way for most of us to cook and enjoy jalapeño poppers year round. But if you want to grill, smoke or cook your poppers any other way – Almost every recipe we have will work. We will let you know if it won’t.

Tuna Melt Jalapeño Poppers Recipe
Swap jalapeños for the bread and you have delicious Tuna Melt Jalapeño Poppers.
Ingredients (See Box Above, "IMPORTANT - About Our Recipes" for Information about Quantities)
- Jalapeño Peppers
- Cream Cheese
- Tuna Salad store bought or homemade (See below for links to some good recipes to make at home - Coming Soon)
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded or sliced
- Roma or Cherry Tomatoes sliced (Or use regular-sized Tomatoes, sliced to fit.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut the jalapeños into a boat cut. (Click the link above to see how to do a Boat Cut.)
- Place the jalapeños on a cookie sheet. Place sheet in preheated oven. Cook for about 20 - 30 minutes, until jalapeños are tender to the point that you like to eat them. (You will not be baking them further once you add the tuna, so make sure they are as done as you like now.)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly so you can handle them.
- Turn oven to broil and allow to preheat.
- Add cream cheese to each jalapeño to cover the bottom, leaving a concave "well" to place other ingredients. (Click the link above to see pictures of this step, if these instructions are unclear to you.)
- Add a generous helping of the tuna salad.
- Lay one or more slices of tomato on top of the tuna.
- Place jalapeños back on cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle or lay slices of Cheddar cheese over the top of all.
- Place the cookie sheet back in the oven.
- Broil, watching closely, just until cheese is hot and melted.
- Remove from oven when done and enjoy.
