From Sushi to Burritos: The Spicy Fusion Recipe You Need to Try

Today’s Fusion Recipe: Spicy Sushi Burritos

I’m excited to share a fun and unique recipe today that combines the flavors of spicy Mexican cuisine with the freshness of Japanese sushi — Spicy Sushi Burritos! This dish is perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a fun lunch option. The spicy, savory filling wrapped in nori and rice will surely satisfy your taste buds.

To make these Spicy Sushi Burritos, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 250g sushi rice
• 4 nori sheets
• 200g sushi-grade tuna, diced
• 1 large avocado, sliced
• 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
• 4 tbsp spicy mayo
• 1/4 cup pickled ginger
• 2 tbsp soy sauce

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• rice cooker
• cutting board
• sharp knife
• bamboo sushi mat

Start by cooking the sushi rice according to the package instructions in a rice cooker. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly before assembling the burritos. Place a nori sheet on the bamboo sushi mat, spread a layer of sushi rice on top, leaving a border around the edges.

Next, add a layer of diced sushi-grade tuna, sliced avocado, and jalapeno on top of the rice. Drizzle with spicy mayo for an extra kick of flavor. Carefully roll up the nori sheet into a burrito shape using the bamboo mat to help shape and secure the filling.

Once rolled, slice the burrito into halves or thirds and serve with pickled ginger and soy sauce on the side. The combination of spicy tuna, creamy avocado, and tangy pickled ginger makes for a delicious and unique fusion dish.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 300g. One serving of Spicy Sushi Burrito is estimated to be around 400 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to brush the nori sheet with a little water before rolling to help seal the burrito securely and prevent it from falling apart. This simple step will ensure that your Spicy Sushi Burritos stay intact until you’re ready to enjoy them.

I hope you give these Spicy Sushi Burritos a try and have fun experimenting with different fillings and flavors. Feel free to customize them to your liking and make them your own. Enjoy!
