Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of an 11x17-inch casserole dish.
Lightly coat 1 side of 18 tortilla quarters with sour cream and arrange, sour cream-side up, in the casserole dish. Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture over tortilla layer.
Stir green chile salsa into the remaining chicken mixture.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend over chicken mixture layer in the casserole dish; top with 10 tortilla quarters. Pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce over tortilla layer and cover with chicken-salsa mixture; add 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend.
Lightly coat 14 tortilla quarters with sour cream and arrange, sour cream-side down, over the cheese layer. Spread 1 cup enchilada sauce over tortillas and top with remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and cheese is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
