What Is This Mexican Mystery Herb? Good Questions

2012_10_01-MexicanHerbSm.jpgQ: I received a a mystery ingredient in my CSA this week. The CSA folks call it "chipile" and say it a Mexican herb that is good in rice or chicken. I tried a search for some recipes involving this herb, and couldn't find anything by this name. What is this herb, and how can I best use it?

Vegetarian recipes would be much appreciated!
