Step 1 – Prepare Sushi Rice Wash the rice until water runs clear. Cook with water, then season with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while warm. Let it cool completely.

Step 2 – Prepare Fillings Cook your protein (shrimp, chicken, or beef) and slice thinly. Slice avocado and jalapeño, and chop fresh cilantro.

Step 3 – Lay Nori and Rice Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread an even, thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving 1 inch uncovered at the top.

Step 4 – Add Fillings Arrange the protein, avocado, jalapeño, and cilantro in a straight line across the center of the rice. Add chipotle mayo.

Step 5 – Roll the Sushi Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you. Apply gentle pressure and seal the edge with a little water.

Step 6 – Cut and Serve Slice the roll into 6–8 equal pieces using a sharp, damp knife. Serve immediately.
