Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Set them aside to use as your sandwich 'wrap'.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it slightly with a fork for a chunky spread.
Thinly slice the tomato.
Lay two romaine lettuce leaves flat as the base for each sandwich.
Spread half of the mashed avocado onto the base of each lettuce wrap.
Place two slices of prosciutto over the avocado layer on each lettuce wrap.
Top the prosciutto with two slices of fresh mozzarella for each sandwich.
Add the sliced tomato and fresh basil leaves on top of the mozzarella.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the fillings in each lettuce wrap.
Cover with another lettuce leaf on top of each sandwich to 'wrap' the ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb prosciutto sandwich!
