Feisty Tuna Roll

Posted By Allison On March 10, 2008 @ 9:06 pm In Maki Recipes | 10 Comments

Time has just been flying by lately. I posted The Red Violin [1] on February 20th, then the Taste and Create 5 [2] post three days later, and vowed that I would have a more regular posting schedule, instead of just once post per week! Crudmonkeys. I realized today that it has been two weeks since I last posted. With a big paper due earlier this week, I seem to have lost track of time. :( I know, excuses, excuses. I can’t guarantee I’ll be on a regular schedule in the next couple of weeks either, because finals are coming up. :(

The Feisty Tuna Roll is a little bit spicy but not overwhelmingly so, and definitely tasty. The avocado helps cool it down a little more, so even people who aren’t huge fans of spicy foods will probably like this. :)
