Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3
Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through.
4
Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Assemble the tortas by spreading a layer of sour cream on the bottom half of the tortilla, followed by a layer of chicken, a sprinkle of queso fresco, and a few slices of radish and tomato. Top with the top half of the tortilla and serve immediately.
