Start by cooking the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomato into thin rounds. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it with a fork in a small bowl and season with salt and black pepper.
Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Use the same skillet to lightly toast the gluten-free bread slices, or toast them in a toaster if preferred.
Spread the mayonnaise evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.
Begin assembling the sandwich by layering the mashed avocado on the mayonnaise side of one slice of bread.
Add the crisp bacon slices on top of the avocado.
Place the tomato slices over the bacon, followed by the romaine lettuce leaves.
Top it off with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side down.
Gently press the sandwich together, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
