  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish (from 1 [2 3/4 ounce] bunch)
  • 1 cup thinly sliced scallions, divided (from 6 medium [3 ounces total] scallions)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 (14.75 ounce) can fire-roasted corn, drained
