“Too many” kinda sounds right to my ear because beans is plural, but the second logically seems right because its served by volume and is not ‘countable’ as ordinary (non-destroyed) beans might be.

    Obviously this is very context dependant, but here’s my take:

    “I ate too many refried beans” = in one meal, I consumed more refried beans than I should have

    “I ate too much refried beans” = over the course of an extended period of time, I ate meals consisting of refried beans more frequently than I should have
