Portabellini and Sweet Potato Stuffed Tortillas

Mexican Stuffed Peppers

Surfing tastespotting, I saw a post about a dish at some restaurant - it was a bean mixture topped with a fried egg. Taking into account my fondness for stuffed peppers and the fact that I had some spinach & ham in the fridge that needed to be used, this was the logical result.
