Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with water by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully peel the eggs and set them aside.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl and the whites on a serving platter, cut-side up.
Using a fork, mash the egg yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Gently fold in the diced tomatoes, jalapeño, and 1 tablespoon of the chopped cilantro into the yolk mixture for added flavor and texture.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the cavity of each egg white half, mounding it slightly.
Sprinkle the tops of the deviled eggs with the crumbled cotija cheese, green onion, and the remaining cilantro for garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Deviled Eggs Ranchero!
