Quirquiña or Quillquiña, a second possibility

Seeds of Change says:
Porophyllum ruderale

In Bolivia, native Quechua people call it Killi and eat it daily. 
Multi-branched, prolific plants are 4-5 ft. tall and have a unique taste 
somewhere between arugula, cilantro and rue. The purple leaves, harvested 
from July to hard frost, are used daily with different chiles, and said to 
be used medicinally for liver ailments and high blood pressure.

Mexicans call it Papalo coming from papalotl, Nahuatl for
"butterfly" and use it like cilantro.
