Sushi burritos are a delicious fusion of Japanese and Mexican cuisine that have gained popularity in recent years. These oversized sushi rolls feature a variety of fillings that are wrapped up in nori and sticky sushi rice. The end result is a portable and convenient meal that can be eaten on-the-go or enjoyed at home. Sushi burritos have become a popular menu item at food trucks, restaurants, and cafes. This particular recipe features sashimi grade tuna, creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber, and sweet carrot, all wrapped in a sheet of roasted nori. The burrito is finished with a sprinkle of tobiko, which adds a burst of salty flavor and a pop of color to the dish.

Instructions

1.	Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Then, combine the rice and 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
2.	Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for an additional 10 minutes.
3.	Transfer the rice to a large mixing bowl and add the rice vinegar. Mix well to combine.
4.	Lay out a sheet of nori on a bamboo rolling mat or on a flat surface.
5.	Spread a thin layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top and bottom.
6.	Arrange the tuna, avocado, tobiko, cucumber, and carrot in a horizontal line along the middle of the rice.
7.	Using the rolling mat or your hands, roll the sushi burrito tightly and seal the ends with a bit of water.
8.	Slice the burrito in half and serve immediately or wrap it up in plastic wrap and take it on-the-go!
