In a pot, add crushed tomatoes and tomato juice to heat up for the sauce.

Prepare a slurry by mixing 3/4 cup warm water with flour, adding a tablespoon at a time until desired thickness is achieved.

Add a tablespoon of chili powder to the slurry and mix well to avoid lumps.

Check the tomato sauce for bubbling, ensuring it doesn't boil too much to avoid flavor change.

Fry corn tortillas in the heated oil until they are nice and crisp.

Dip the fried tortillas into the tomato sauce and stack them with cheese and onions in between each layer.

Top the stacked enchiladas with a fried egg before serving.
