For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the tuna mixture. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Pepper Jack, for a unique twist. If you don't have a grill pan, a regular skillet works perfectly fine. Just be sure to heat it evenly. Serve immediately with extra chips and your favorite pickles.
