Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Allow to blend for about 5 minutes.
  2. Place the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over, seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C).
  4. Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for 6–7 minutes per side until reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. After grilling, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  6. Grill the corn tortillas for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy.
  7. Spread a layer of refried beans over each crispy tortilla.
  8. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced radishes on top of the grilled chicken.
  9. Top with grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream, finishing with chopped cilantro.
  10. Serve assembled tostadas immediately with lime wedges on the side.
