Slice the red onion into thin rings and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion rings and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place each vegan hot dog in the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally until they are evenly browned.
While the hot dogs are cooking, peel and slice the avocado into thin wedges.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the fresh cilantro.
Lightly toast the dairy-free hot dog buns in a toaster or on a grill for about 2 minutes to give them a slight crisp.
Once the hot dogs are cooked, assemble the gourmet hot dogs. Place each vegan hot dog in a toasted bun.
Apply one tablespoon of Dijon mustard on each hot dog.
Top each hot dog with a portion of sautéed red onions, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and 1/2 tablespoon of pickled jalapeños.
Finally, add a quarter cup of sauerkraut on top, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper as desired.
Serve immediately for the best taste and enjoyment.
