How to make Plant Based Beef Empanadas?

In a medium size pan, begin to sauté your diced onions.

Place 2-3 spoonfuls of the plant based meat mixture into the center of a 5inch round empanada dough.
Close and completely seal each empanada.
Beat an egg to make an egg wash and lightly brush the egg wash on top of each empanada.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or completely golden.
