Sure. Enchiladas are standardly seasoned entirely or nearly
entirely with mature red chilis of certain varieties (New Mexico
prominently) which have been dried and roasted. Taco seasoning,
as usually denoted in the U.S., is the same thing as chorizo
seasoning and is a blend of many spices -- chili, garlic,
aromatics such as nutmeg -- I have in the past posted Rick
Bayless's recipe for it here which is dead-on.
There is no single meaning to the phrase "burrito seasoning",
without additional information, but many of the common types
of burritos have very typical spice makeups. A chili verde
burrito is flavored with tomatillos, and green chilis which
may be either green New Mexico (the best), or mild chilis
like Anaheims combined with serranos.
If you have a particular type of burrito in mind I'm sure
you can find suggestions on its seasonings.
