So what's the difference? I know that fajitas are the "some assembly required" fried veg and meat in spices with no sauce that you roll in tortillas at the table. There's one (enchiladas?) where it is stuffed and cooked in a sauce in the oven. And that they all involve tortillas, but which is what?

The reason I want to know is because I often make the following:
fry chicken and veg (onion, peppers, courgettes) in spices and cook through
add a little passata and cook for a little longer so there is some sauce
put in tortillas and bake in the oven on a baking tray for ~10-15 minutes until the tortilla is slightly crisp in places.

So which term best describes that?
 
Are enchilladas not baked with sauce around them? Mine are filled and wrapped up so that no sauce escapes and there's no sauce on the outside of them.

Silly confusing Mexicans!
