Begin by chopping the yellow onion and gathering all your ingredients. This will make the cooking process smooth and efficient.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the beef is browned, add the chopped yellow onion to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning, green chili enchilada sauce, lime juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
In a separate pot, gently heat the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. This will provide a creamy layer on your tostadas.
Take a tostada shell and spread a generous layer of refried beans on top. Then, add a scoop of the ground beef mixture.
Top your tostadas with shredded lettuce, salsa, slices of avocado, a sprinkle of Mexican cheese, a drizzle of Mexican crema, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve your tostadas on a platter, and enjoy this colorful, flavor-packed dish with family and friends!
