In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.

If using refried beans, heat them in a small saucepan until warmed through. Lay out the tostada shells on a serving platter.
03 -
Spread a layer of refried beans on each tostada shell (if using). Top with a generous portion of the cooked ground beef mixture. Add your desired toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado or guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and jalapeños.

Serve the tostadas immediately with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
