Thinly slice the tomato and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Set them aside for assembly.
In a clean skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the vegetarian hot dog sausages for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and heated through. Remove from heat.
Toast the hot dog buns lightly in a toaster or skillet for 1 minute, if desired.
Assemble the hot dogs by placing one sausage in each bun. Top with sautéed vegetables, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomatoes.
