Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced pickles, mustard, vinegar, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil with one hand while whisking the mixture with the other.
- Add the drained tuna, red onion, and celery; fold to combine.
- Season to taste with Tabasco and salt; refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Working in batches as needed, add the bread to the heated griddle, buttered-side down, and divide the cheese among 4 slices of bread, tearing cheese to fit in a single layer (1 1/2 pieces per slice of bread).
- Cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy and golden, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer toasts to a large cutting board for assembly.
- Divide the cold tuna mix among 4 slices (about 1/2 cup each), schmearing it to cover each piece from edge to edge.
- Add a handful of chips on top and close the sandwiches with the other slices of bread, toasted-side up.
- Using a serrated knife, cut sandwiches in half diagonally and serve while the bread is warm.
