Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 small, julienned cucumber
• 1 small, sliced into strips avocado
• 2 sheets nori (seaweed sheets)
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for dipping) soy sauce (low-sodium, if preferred)
• 1 teaspoon (optional) sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add cream cheese and mayonnaise to the tuna and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be creamy and spreadable.

Step 3

Lay one nori sheet on a flat surface, rough side facing up. If the nori sheet is too large, trim it slightly to make rolling easier.

Step 4

Spread half of the tuna mixture evenly onto the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of empty space at the top edge.

Step 5

Place a few julienned cucumber strips and avocado slices across the tuna mixture horizontally.

Step 6

Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the nori sheet over the filling, using gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a dab of water.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the blade clean between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
