Mince onion. Wearing protective gloves, mince chipotle. In a colander rinse black beans well and drain.

In a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan cook onion in oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add chipotle and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add beans, 1 cup water, and orange juice and simmer, mashing mixture 3 or 4 times with a potato masher, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season beans with salt.
Serves 4.
