Begin by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Turn occasionally. Once cooked, remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the bacon is cooking, wash the romaine lettuce leaves and pat dry. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add 0.5 teaspoon of lemon juice, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth to make avocado spread.
Slice the tomato into thin slices and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, allowing them to cook without stirring for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is set.
Carefully flip the eggs and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully set. Once done, transfer to a plate and let cool slightly, then cut into manageable pieces that fit within the lettuce leaves.
To assemble the sandwiches: take two large lettuce leaves, spread a thick layer of the avocado mixture on each. Layer two slices of bacon, some cooked eggs, and tomato slices on top of the avocado spread.
Carefully fold the lettuce leaves over the filling to form a wrap. Repeat the process for the second serving.
Serve immediately while the eggs and bacon are still warm.
