2/3 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

While beans are cooking, in a large saucepan combine the onions with salted water to cover, bring the water to a boil, and drain the onions immediately. In a small bowl combine the onions wih the vinegar. In a large skillet heat the oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking, add the ham, the annatto powder, the garlic, cumin and the chipotle and cook the mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes.
