Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise and soy sauce (or coconut aminos if gluten-free) to the tuna. Mix well until fully combined.
Peel and pit the avocado, then mash it in a separate bowl until smooth and spreadable.
Cut the cucumber into thin, matchstick-sized strips.
Lay one nori sheet shiny-side down on a clean, dry surface or sushi rolling mat.
Spread half of the mashed avocado evenly over the entire nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top empty for sealing.
Place a layer of cucumber strips and half of the tuna mixture in a horizontal line across the center of the nori sheet.
Using the sushi rolling mat (or your hands), carefully roll the nori from the bottom edge, pressing firmly but gently to create a tight roll. Use the empty 1-inch strip of nori to seal the roll by moistening it slightly with water.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining avocado, cucumber, and tuna mixture.
Slice each roll into 6 equal pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sliced rolls for garnish.
Serve immediately with optional wasabi paste and pickled ginger on the side.
