I looked at the link you posted ,esmitty, and unfortunately, it doesn't seem to give the actual name - and this one
http://www.calflora.net/bloomingplants/purslane.html

is called portulaca olaracea. There are a few plants with the nickname pigweed, and that article you mentioned should have been more specific if they don't want to misinform their readers. It must be this:

(another "pigweed" also called Palmer amaranth) Of course, I was also advised to plant amaranth, another nutritious green that is very popular in Mexico... hmmm ...isn't life interesting?
