It's simple.

CFCs are around a thousand times as effective as CO2 as greenhouse gases.

You build a bunch of plants on Mars, using mostly locally sourced materials, to manufacture CFCs and just vent them into the atmopshere.

CO2 should start sublimating out of the ground, and eventually it'll reach a point where the air pressure and temperature are high enough that liquid water can exist on the surface and there's rain and shit.

From there you start putting down plants to turn the CO2 into O2, and once the O2 content is high enough, start releasing animals.
