Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Chop the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a plate and microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes, or until tender.
Once cooked, add rice vinegar and salt to the cauliflower rice, mixing well to combine. Allow it to cool.
Peel and pit the avocados, then mash them in a bowl until smooth. Add the cream cheese to the mashed avocado and mix until well combined.
Peel the cucumber and carrot. Slice both vegetables into long, thin strips.
Place one nori sheet on a sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel, shiny side down.
Spread a layer of the avocado and cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Spread a layer of the cauliflower rice over the avocado mixture, pressing it down firmly.
Place a few strips of cucumber and carrot horizontally across the middle of the nori sheet.
Carefully roll the nori sheet over the vegetables, using the mat to help create a tight roll. Wet the top inch of the nori with a little water to seal the edge.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into about 8 pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Sprinkle the sushi rolls with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
