Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Soak tortilla pieces in salsa and place a single layer in a 13x9 pan. Place half the shredded chicken on top of the tortillas. In a separate bowl mix soup, rotel and sour cream. Spread half the soup mixture over the chicken. And then sprinkle one package of cheddar cheese, then repeat layers ending in cheese.
