How to Make Tuna Salad Sushi

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, gently combine 1 (5 ounce) can tuna (drained), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently break up any large tuna chunks.
  2. Lay out two large flour tortillas on a clean surface.
  3. Spread half of the tuna salad evenly onto each tortilla, creating a line slightly below the center.
  4. Arrange 1/2 cup shredded carrots in a line down the center of the tuna salad on each tortilla.
  5. Carefully lift one edge of the tortilla over the filling and begin rolling tightly, like a sushi roll. Repeat with the second tortilla.
  6. Gently tuck in the ends to prevent the filling from spilling out.
  7. Using a sharp knife, trim the ends of each roll and cut into 6 equal pieces.
  8. (Optional) Dip the cut ends of each roll into black sesame seeds.
  9. Place the finished sushi rolls cut-side up in airtight containers for easy packing.
