crop rotation?
I am new to gardening, just started my first one this year! I have had some pretty good success so I want to try a fall garden. I have harvested white and red onions and I'm wondering if I can grow fall tomatoes and green beans where the onions were?

The only real benefit from crop rotation is avoiding disease. I like to avoid planting tomatoes, peppers or potatoes in the same place on successive plantings. They all are subject to the same diseases. If the previous crop had no disease, it is not an issue any way.
I never have time here to grow a second crop. Perhaps you do there? Tomatoes need a pretty long season. Depends on the variety.
