Flip the rice-covered nori sheet over.
Arrange avocado and imitation crab sticks (cut into wedges) horizontally across the nori.
Use the sushi mat to tightly roll up the sushi.
Leave about 1/3 of the sushi rice unrolled to help seal the roll.
Continue rolling, ensuring all ingredients are pressed in.
