Boil eggs and cool in an ice bath. Use a gentle simmer for ten minutes then transfer to ice to stop cooking.
Peel eggs and slice in half lengthwise, keeping whites intact. Reserve the whites on a tray.
Mash yolks and avocado together in a bowl until mostly smooth with a few small curds for texture.
Mix in crema, mayo, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until homogeneous.
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more lime or salt as needed.
Pipe or spoon mixture into egg whites, filling to a slight mound for an elegant profile.
Garnish with smoked paprika, cilantro leaves, jalapeño slices, and lime wedges. Chill before serving for best flavor.

Use a kitchen timer and an ice bath to avoid overcooking eggs. Prepare filling up to a day ahead and refrigerate.
