Step 8 : Next, place a row of avocado about 2 cm from the nearest edge, and using the parchment or plastic wrap, roll it tightly until you form a roll.
Step 9 : Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Step 10 : Before serving, remove the plastic wrap and place the roll on a flat surface.
Step 11 : Using a sharp knife or electric slicer, cut the roll into slices of 1.5 to 2 cm.
