- Separate spring roll wrappers into individual sheets, Arrange a wrapper on a flat working surface.
- Spoon tuna filling on the bottom part of the wrapper and top with a slice of cheese. Fold the wrapper over the filling and then fold sides. Roll tightly into a log and lightly dab with water on the end to completely seal. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
