That's common at many taquerias. It's usually referred to as "mojado" or "wet". They make a burrito as normal, then cover it with enchilada sauce, cheese, and stick it under the broiler for a sec to melt it. It's like a buck or two upgrade for any burrito.

but is it tho? when was the last time you heard a zoomer talk about the simpsons? viewership numbers have declined drastically and it's not the cultural icon it used to be, idk who's watching anymore, but it's certainly not the kids. Probably just a few dedicated boomers and latin america at this point.

I'll wade into that a bit. Part of the difference is down to the fillings. If you're making a Mission-style burrito with beans and rice, that wouldn't go in an enchilada.

Wrapping also plays a role. Enchiladas are typically made with corn tortillas while burritos are almost without exception flour. I make enchiladas with flour myself, but corn is still the more traditional version.
