Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegetarian chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until warmed through and slightly golden. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the vegetarian chicken is cooking, peel and pit the avocados. In a small bowl, mash the avocados with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste until smooth and creamy.
Thinly slice the tomato and red onion. Set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of the bread.
Place 4 slices of bread, mayonnaise side up, on a clean surface. Layer each with a lettuce leaf, a portion of cooked vegetarian chicken strips, slices of tomato, slices of red onion, and a generous spread of the mashed avocado.
Top each with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down, to form sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
