Prepare the cauliflower rice by microwaving it for 2-3 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool for several minutes.
Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with cream cheese and rice vinegar until it forms a sticky consistency. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine diced fresh tuna, sriracha, and mayonnaise. Mix until well-coated to create the spicy tuna filling.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean cutting board, shiny side down.
Spread the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch uncovered at the top edge.
Arrange a line of spicy tuna filling, sliced avocado, and thinly sliced cucumber horizontally across the middle of the rice-covered nori sheet.
Using the sushi mat or your hands, carefully roll the nori starting from the bottom edge, working toward the uncovered top edge. Wet the top edge slightly with water to seal the roll.
Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to achieve clean edges.
Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sliced rolls for added flavor and presentation.
Serve the keto spicy tuna roll with soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto) on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
