Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 sheets Nori sheets (seaweed)
• 1 can Canned tuna (in water or oil, drained)
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 0.5 medium Avocado
• 0.25 medium Cucumber
• 2 teaspoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: If you’re starting with whole cauliflower, use a food processor to pulse florets into a rice-like consistency. If pre-riced cauliflower is used, skip to the next step.

Step 2

In a dry skillet over medium heat, sauté the cauliflower rice for 3-4 minutes to remove any excess moisture. Transfer to a bowl and allow it to cool completely.

Step 3

Once the cauliflower rice has cooled, mix in the cream cheese and rice vinegar until well incorporated. This will help mimic the sticky texture of traditional sushi rice.

Step 4

Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the drained tuna with mayonnaise. Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips for easy rolling.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of nori on a sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel. Spread half of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly across the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top for sealing the roll.

Step 6

Arrange a few slices of avocado and cucumber horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice. Add half of the tuna mixture on top of the veggies.

Step 7

Using the sushi mat or kitchen towel, gently roll the nori sheet away from you, pressing firmly to create a tight roll. Use a small amount of water to seal the seam at the edge.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice each sushi roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces. Wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth between cuts for a cleaner finish.

Step 10

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi rolls, if desired, and serve with soy sauce (or tamari) for dipping.
