Step 1
Heat 0.5 inch neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Fry tortillas one at a time until golden and crispy, 60 seconds per side. Drain on a paper towel.
Step 3
In the same skillet, brown chorizo over medium-high, breaking it into small pieces, until no pink remains, 4–5 minutes.
Step 4
Slice avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork and season with salt.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice over the avocado, then stir in half the cilantro and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Spread avocado on each tostada, top with chorizo, cotija, radish slices, and remaining cilantro. Serve immediately.
