Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. If you are using whole cauliflower, trim and cut it into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until the texture resembles rice. Measure out 1 cup and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: Peel the carrot and cut it into thin julienne strips. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and slice it into thin strips. Remove the core and seeds from the red bell pepper and slice into thin strips. Slice the avocado into thin pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Stir until even and smooth. Set aside as a dipping sauce.
Lay a clean bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat.
Spread a quarter cup of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top edge.
Arrange a selection of vegetable strips, avocado slices, and cooked chicken breast horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice.
Carefully lift the edge of the mat closest to you, gently rolling it over the filling. Use your fingers to keep the filling in place as you roll and form a tight roll.
Dampen the uncovered edge of the nori with a little water, then complete the roll to seal it.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 8 even pieces. Repeat the assembly process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
To serve, arrange the Rainbow Rolls on a platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and provide coconut aminos and spicy mayonnaise as dipping sauces.
