Cook pasta according to package directions. Allow the pasta to cool completely. You can speed up the process by running cold water over the pasta after you have cooked and drained it.
In a large bowl, make the dressing by stirring together softened cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, fresh lime juice and 1 packet taco seasoning. Stir well to combine.
When the pasta has cooled completely and has been drained well, stir in dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and chopped green onions.
Sprinkle Corn Chips on top right before serving.
