Scale
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 oz (150g) canned tuna, drained
- 1/4 cup spicy aioli
- 2 scallions, finely sliced
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapenos, finely diced
- 1/2 tablespoon pickled jalapeno brine (or lemon juice)
- 1 tablespoon American mustard
- Handful of dill sprigs, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1/4 cup spicy aioli
- 1/4 cup crispy shallots (optional)
Instructions
- Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in rice vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then let cool to room temperature.
- In a bowl, combine drained tuna, 1/4 cup spicy aioli, scallions, diced pickled jalapenos, pickled jalapeno brine, American mustard, chopped dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat or clean surface. Spread a thin layer of cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- Spread a small amount of basil pesto along the center of the rice.
- Layer avocado slices, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and the spicy tuna mixture over the pesto. Add a drizzle of spicy aioli and crispy shallots if using.
- Carefully roll the burrito by folding the bottom edge over the filling, then roll tightly while tucking in the sides.
- Slice the burrito in half, serve immediately, and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a bamboo mat for tighter rolling, or wrap in parchment paper to hold shape.
- Adjust spiciness by varying jalapenos and aioli.
- Fresh ingredients are key for best flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately to keep the nori crisp; if storing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
