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.

What if it's covered in green chilli and cheese but not in a pan with other burritos?

for me, it’s the sauce that makes an enchilada an enchilada. you can have flour tortilla burritos but not saucy burritos!

Actually I did have a "wet burro" in Northern California once that had green sauce and cheese. Well now I'm definitely confused. Edit Morro Straight I think it was

I have too, but that is typically the main difference between them - enchiladas use corn tortillas, and burritos, flour.
