Directions
- Preheat oven to 250 °F.
- Lightly brush oil on each side of the tortillas and lay them on 2 large baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the tortillas are baking, drain the tofu and place on a plate or tray. With a cloth or paper towels, press the tofu to remove extra liquid. Crumble tofu into a large bowl.

- Add salt, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, nutritional yeast and red chili flakes, if desired, to the tofu. Mix well.
- Spread 1/2 cup sauce on the bottom of an 8x11-inch baking dish. Layer 6 tortillas on top of the sauce. Spread 1/2 cup sauce over the tortillas.
- Spoon 1/2 the tofu mixture over the tortillas. Pour 1/2 cup sauce over tortillas and spread evenly.
- Spoon the remaining tofu on top. Pour the final 1/2 cup sauce over the tofu.
- Top with sliced mushrooms and olives. Bake for about 30 minutes.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
