Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large sheets Nori sheets
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (drained)
• 0.5 cup Edamame, shelled
• 0.5 cup Shredded carrots
• 1 Cucumber, julienned
• 1 Avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha mayo
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice while it’s still warm. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Place one nori sheet on top, shiny side down.

Step 5

Spread a thin, even layer of cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.

Step 6

In the center of the rice layer, arrange the shredded chicken, drained tuna, edamame, shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, and sliced avocado in horizontal lines.

Step 7

Drizzle with sriracha mayo and soy sauce for flavor.

Step 8

Using the plastic wrap to help, carefully roll the nori into a tight burrito shape, starting from the bottom edge. Ensure the filling remains tightly packed as you roll.

Step 9

Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water to hold the burrito closed.

Step 10

Slice the burrito in half or eat it whole. Serve immediately and enjoy!
