Chipilín is an edible plant found in Central America and Mexico, and its leaves are used in cooking as a popular ingredient in traditional dishes. The botanical name of this plant is Crotalaria longirostrata.

Chipilín leaves are small and elongated in shape, and have a characteristic flavor and aroma similar to spinach or fresh herbs. They are often used in stews, soups, and other dishes, where they add their distinctive flavor and nutritional value.

In Salvadoran and Guatemalan cuisine, chipilín is a fundamental ingredient in dishes such as "chirmol" or "chirmolito," which is a type of sauce or stew that combines chipilín with tomato, onion and other ingredients. It is also used in "pupusas," a type of tortilla filled with various ingredients, where the chipilín filling is a popular variant.

Chipilín is appreciated for its unique flavor and for its contribution of nutrients, since it is rich in vitamins, minerals and proteins. Furthermore, its use in cooking reflects the rich culinary tradition of Central America and Mexico, where local ingredients are used to create tasty and authentic dishes.
