Bring water to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add salt, baking powder, and olive oil to the boiling water.

Stir in all-purpose flour until a dough forms, about 1-2 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition.

Fold in cheddar cheese, jalapeños, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.

Pipe churros into hot oil, cutting to desired lengths with scissors.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove churros and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with sour cream and lime juice for dipping.
