Add oregano, cumin, 2 tbs of the vinegar, and reserved bean broth. Simmer until onion and pepper are soft.

Shortly before serving, add drained beans, hot pepper sauce, honey, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

Serve over rice topped with some green onions.
