Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 small, julienned cucumber
- 1 small, sliced into strips avocado
- 2 sheets nori (seaweed sheets)
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for dipping) soy sauce (low-sodium, if preferred)
- 1 teaspoon (optional) sesame seeds
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add cream cheese and mayonnaise to the tuna and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be creamy and spreadable.
Lay one nori sheet on a flat surface, rough side facing up. If the nori sheet is too large, trim it slightly to make rolling easier.
Spread half of the tuna mixture evenly onto the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of empty space at the top edge.
Place a few julienned cucumber strips and avocado slices across the tuna mixture horizontally.
Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the nori sheet over the filling, using gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients to make a second roll.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the blade clean between cuts to ensure clean slices.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls if desired.
Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
