Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil, and space chips out evenly on the pan. Top each chip with a generous rounded teaspoon tuna salad.

Place a jalapeno ring on top of tuna, followed by a slice of tomato, pressing down lightly as you do. Top with cheese, piling it as high as possible in the middle of each nacho. Use any extra cheese to cover exposed areas of chips.
