  • For the tuna wraps:
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste
  • 1 or 2 drops sesame oil
  • 1 soft flour tortilla
  • 1/2 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks to give 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into matchsticks to give 1/2 cup
  • 3 ounces tuna, sliced into 1/16-by-3/4-inch rectangles
  • 1. Whisk together the mayonnaise, wasabi, and sesame oil in a small bowl, and paint the tortilla on one side with this mixture.
  • 2. Arrange a row of carrots horizontally 3/4 inch to 1 /14 inches up from the bottom of the tortilla you have in front of you.
  • 3. Then arrange the cucumber on top of the carrot in the same way, or as best you can, as it may slip down a little.
  • 4. Top with slices of tuna, also laying them horizontallythis makes it easy to wrap.

  • 3. Take the avocado half still with skin and scoop out the flesh in 1/2-teaspoon curls, laying these on top of the line of crabmeat.
