Instructions:

- Place a lettuce leaf on top of the seaweed sheet.
- Spread half of the mashed avocado over the lettuce leaf.
- Spoon half of the tuna mixture over the avocado layer.
- Carefully roll the seaweed sheet tightly from the bottom to the top, creating a wrap. Make sure the filling is secured inside.

- If you don't have lime, you can substitute with lemon for a similar tangy flavor.
- Consider using different types of seaweed such as nori or dulse for a variation in taste and texture.
