Roll the sushi
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Add a line of the crab mixture and chopped Ahi tuna in the center, along with avocado slices.

Roll it up
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
