Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 can (5 ounces) Canned tuna in water
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 small Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce or tamari (for keto, choose low-carb)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat the cauliflower rice in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and the moisture has evaporated.

Step 2

Transfer the cooked cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the cream cheese, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the rice is sticky and well-coated. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the filling: Drain the canned tuna and place it in a small bowl. Mix the tuna with mayonnaise and a pinch of salt until fully combined. Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin, even strips.

Step 4

Assemble the sushi: Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a sheet of parchment paper. Spread half of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 5

Place half of the tuna mixture, avocado slices, and cucumber slices along the bottom edge of the nori, closest to you.

Step 6

Using the bamboo mat or parchment paper, carefully roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently to secure the roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a small dab of water.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients to create the second roll.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth between each cut to ensure clean slices.

Step 9

Serve the sushi with soy sauce or tamari for dipping and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish if desired.
