4Spray a 9x13 or 11x15 pan very liberally with Pam.
-
5Place some of the salsa mixture in the pan, just enough to cover the bottom.
-
6Place six tortillas over this, covering the bottom; they'll overlap slightly.
-
7In the center of each tortilla, place about 1/2 cup each of tofu and beans, using half of each, and salsa, using 1/3; then sprinkle a thin layer of cheese over all.
-
8Add another layer of tortillas and press down firmly, which will spread the mounds and even everything out.
-
9Repeat and place another layer of tortillas, pressing again.
-
10Pour the remaining salsa over the top and cover with the rest of the cheese.
