Roll the Sushi
On a bamboo sushi mat, place a sheet of nori shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. Place a line of the tuna mixture, cucumber, and avocado in the center. Roll the sushi tightly away from you, using the mat to help. Seal the edge with a little water.

Cut and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
