Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9-10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Using a fork, mash the egg yolks until they are crumbly and smooth.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, chopped pickled jalapeños, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollow of each egg white half.
Garnish the filled eggs with chopped chives and a sprinkle of smoked paprika, if desired.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
