Chicken Enchilada Lasagna

I have wanted to try this recipe idea for a while now... I am fully in nesting mode and like to find freezable meals to make for my family. I usually make one casserole and split it in half-- half for the night we eat it for dinner and the other half goes right into a freezer dish for a dinner in the future. This dish looked interesting and I wanted to catalog it somewhere to try. **If it is absolutely horrible, I will promptly erase the disaster with great apologies.

1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
1 cup salsa
1 large deli rotisserie chicken, cubed (4 cups cooked chicken)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sliced green onions (8 medium)
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
8 corn tortillas (6 inch), cut in half
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend (8 oz)
2 cups tortilla chips
1 cup chopped tomato (1 large)
2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives
Fresh cilantro, if desired
