This recipe looks good, and I love all kinds of beans!  I have a question about

an ingredient:

what is " espazote " , please?  I have seen this a few other times in a recipe here

and have seen it mentioned off and on, but I don't know what it is.  I have not,

to my knowledge, ever seen it in the produce section of grocery stores...if it's

a dried herb, I've also not seen it in the herbs and spices aisle.  I shop

sometimes at a larger health food store that has bulk bins for herbs of all

kinds and have never found it.  Is it only regionally available?  I am curious

about it and wonder, if I cannot find that particular ingredient, what might I

use as a  substitute for it?  Thank you for the information and for the

yummy-looking recipe!
