Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
• 3 sheets Nori seaweed sheets
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 small Cucumber (julienned)
• 0.5 medium Avocado (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Lightly sauté the cauliflower rice in a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes to remove excess moisture. Stir in the rice vinegar and let the cauliflower rice cool to room temperature.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the drained canned tuna with mayonnaise and soy sauce until well combined. Set this aside as your filling.

Step 3

Lay one sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat (or a clean kitchen towel). Spread an even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over two-thirds of the sheet, leaving about 1 inch at the top bare.

Step 4

On the end closest to you, layer a strip of the tuna mixture, a few pieces of cucumber, avocado slices, and a small dollop of cream cheese.

Step 5

Using the bamboo mat, start rolling up the nori sheet tightly from the filled edge, pressing gently as you go to form a firm sushi roll.

Step 6

Seal the edge of the nori by dampening the bare strip with a little water before completing the roll.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 even pieces. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and filling.

Step 8

Garnish the slices with sesame seeds if desired and serve fresh with soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
