Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 ounces) canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 1 large avocado
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 sheets nori seaweed sheets
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Mix well and set aside.
2. Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash half of the avocado with a fork and mix it into the tuna. Slice the remaining avocado thinly for later use.
3. Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin, matchstick-sized pieces.
4. Lay one nori sheet shiny side down on a clean flat surface or a bamboo sushi mat if you have one.
5. Spread half of the tuna and avocado mixture evenly across one end of the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top for sealing.
6. Place a few slices of avocado, cucumber, and carrot sticks on top of the tuna mixture.
7. Carefully roll the nori sheet tightly from the bottom edge to the top edge. Use a small amount of water to seal the roll at the end.
8. Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
9. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. If desired, sprinkle black sesame seeds on top for garnish.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Tuna Avocado Roll!
