                          In a large bowl, combine plant-based ground meat, redskin and jalapeño blend, and cheese. Fill an empanada disk with 1/4 cup of meat and potato mixture. Lay flat on countertop and fold in half, pressing and sealing edges with a fork or tips of fingers. Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan and continue filling the remaining empanadas. Brush with egg wash and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before transferring to a cooling rack.
