“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.

      The plural on the word takes precedence over the actual countability of the thing. Unless you want to start calling it a can of “refried bean”

      Lol, I know, right?

      On my plate it’s a volumetric thing, so a single unit.

      But it is “beans” (plural) in a can.
