Jeez, even Gourmet Magazine is publishing recipes calling for chipotles
these days.  Them tasty little tidbits must have hit the big time!
(Personally I would use a LOT more than one little chile for this
recipe, adjust as needed.)

SMOKY BLACK BEANS

beans, chiles

1 small onion
1 chipotle chile (canned in adobo)
2 cans black beans, 15 oz each
2 teaspoons olive oil

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.
