Wash the cucumber and cut off the ends. Using a mandoline or a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into long, thin strips.
Cut the fresh tuna into strips approximately 1/4 inch wide and 3-4 inches long.
Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips of similar length as the tuna.
Lay two overlapping cucumber slices on a clean flat surface, forming a wider base for rolling.
Spread a small amount of cream cheese onto the cucumber slices using a knife to create an even layer.
Place one or two strips of tuna and avocado on one end of the cucumber slice.
Beginning from the end with the filling, carefully roll the cucumber slices up tightly, using your fingers to guide the roll as you go.
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices, tuna, and avocado until all ingredients are used up.
Sprinkle the rolls with sesame seeds for garnish.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and lime juice. Add wasabi, if desired, and mix thoroughly to form a dipping sauce.
Serve the rolls fresh with the dipping sauce on the side.
