Stir in corn and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs.

Combine tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and salt in a medium bowl.

Stir 1 cup of the tomato mixture into the black bean mixture.

Divide the bean mixture into 8 scant 1/2-cup balls.

Lightly press each bean ball into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat.

Place on the prepared baking sheet.
