Lay the whole green chili peppers flat over this, then the mashed tofu. Cover with remaining tortillas. Add remaining tomato mixture. Mix yogurt with the dry salad dressing mix and pour over the top, sprinkle a little ground cumin over this and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes. Garnish with cilantro or parsley.
