Layer with 1/3 of tortillas, top liberally with chili sauce and ½ of the tofu mixture. Top with ½ of cheese. Repeat with 1/3 more of the tortillas, followed by another liberal spread of chili sauce. Top with remaining ½ of tofu mixture and ½ of cheese. Finish with last 1/3 of tortillas and another liberal portion of the chili sauce. Bake for 35 minutes.
