I am reminded of Eagles song, "Hotel California"...

"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, warm smell of colitas
rising up through the air."

Eriogonum jamesii is a species of wild buckwheat known by the common
name James' buckwheat and Antelope sage. It is native to southwestern
North America (Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico).

Do Mexican cooks use native plants such as sage to flavor such dishes,
or does the recipe include chiles de arbol (colitas de rata)?

Ah, I love the Eagles...always thought colitas is a flower.

You know, my landlady used baby talk a lot, called enchiladas
'enchiladees'...maybe that's a clue.
