Begin by slicing the tomato into thin, even slices and set aside.
Slice the red onion into thin rings.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it slightly with a fork and mix in a pinch of black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and warm the lean corned beef for about 2-3 minutes until just heated through.
Lightly toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden.
Spread 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
To assemble the sandwich, layer two leaves of lettuce on one slice of bread for each sandwich.
Add half of the heated corned beef on top of the lettuce on each sandwich.
Place a slice of low-fat Swiss cheese over the corned beef.
Add a few slices of tomato, followed by some red onion rings.
Spread half of the mashed avocado on the other slice of bread for each sandwich, then close the sandwich by placing this slice avocado-side down over the tomato and onion layers.
Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately.
