Ingredients
  

For the Spicy Tuna

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1/2 cup chopped pickles
  • 1/2 diced red onion
  • 2 tbsp chopped capers
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp vegan mayo
  • 1 lemon juice
  • 2 nori sheets shredded

For the Rolls

  • 4 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 8 nori sheets
  • 3 tomatoes sliced
  • 2 avocados
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • First, make your chickpea tuna. Finely chop your pickles, onion, and capers and add them into a shallow dish along with the rest of your chickpea tuna ingredients. Use a fork to mash the chickpeas together with the rest of your ingredients.
  • Cook your sushi rice according to the package directions, then let it cool to room temperature. If you are in a rush, you can spread the rice out on a plate and place it in the fridge.
  • Assemble your sushi by spreading your rice out onto ¾ of your nori sheet. Add in your spicy chickpea tuna, sliced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and sesame seeds.
  • Roll up your sushi and wet the end of the nori sheet so it sticks together.
  • Slice and enjoy!
