1 tablespoon sesame oil
Kosher salt and cracked pepper to taste

16 6 inch white corn & wheat blend tortillas, warmed (La Tortilla Factory)
8 tablespoons cream cheese
1 English cucumber, diced
½ head purple cabbage, sliced very thin
2 avocados, diced
2 cups pickled ginger

Wasabi Cream, recipe below

Wasabi Cream

1 ½ tablespoons wasabi powder, prepared with water to make a paste
