Ingredients  

Hand vinegar

Maki Roll

Toppings

  • 64 Santa Fe style tortilla strips
  • Queso fresco crumbles
  • Pico de gayo, salsa or guacamole

Instructions 

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the hand vinegar.
  2. Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Moisten hands with hand vinegar and shake off excess. Place a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down. Spread half the rice across the nori, leaving 1 inch empty at the end farthest from you.
  3. Lay half the jerky, cilantro and radishes crosswise along the rice, covering half the surface closest to you.
  4. Securing the jerky, cilantro and radishes with your fingers, use your thumbs to push the end of the mat up and over the filling, until the edge of the nori meets the rice on the other side. Press firmly on the roll.
  5. Lift up the top of the mat and roll firmly until tight and round. Squeeze gently to shape the roll. Press the ends in carefully to secure any loose rice. Remove the bamboo mat and set the roll aside.
  6. Make the second roll in the same manner.
  7. Use a very thin, sharp knife to cut each roll into 8 slices. Arrange on a sushi platter. Into the center of each roll stand four tortilla strips upright and then sprinkle each with queso fresco. Serve with pico de gallo
