Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice while itβs still warm. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Place one nori sheet on top, shiny side down.
Spread a thin, even layer of cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.
In the center of the rice layer, arrange the shredded chicken, drained tuna, edamame, shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, and sliced avocado in horizontal lines.
Drizzle with sriracha mayo and soy sauce for flavor.
Using the plastic wrap to help, carefully roll the nori into a tight burrito shape, starting from the bottom edge. Ensure the filling remains tightly packed as you roll.
Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water to hold the burrito closed.
Slice the burrito in half or eat it whole. Serve immediately and enjoy!
