Prepare the coconut bacon in advance. It's simple to make, and you'll have plenty left over, which can be stored in the freezer for future use.

When ready to assemble the sandwich(es), start by toasting the bread to your preferred level of crispiness.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and mash with a fork until the mixture is smooth and spreadable. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

Generously spread the mashed avocado onto both slices of bread. Pile the coconut bacon onto one slice, pressing lightly to help it adhere to the avocado.

Slice the tomato into ½-inch thick rounds. Lay 2 to 3 tomato slices over the coconut bacon, and season with freshly ground black pepper.

Add the lettuce leaves on top of the tomato slices. Place the other slice of bread on top, avocado side down.

If desired, use a serrated knife to carefully cut the sandwich in half before serving. Enjoy!
