TNT Turkey Tacos with Flaming Habaneros

Watching our wastelines this week, so we've opted for tacos prepared with ground turkey tonight instead of ground beef. Turkey is a healthy and low-calorie option alternative, and tastes delicious with all the habanero pepper, fresh cilantro, and spicy seasonings. We served ours with a bit of homemade guacamole.
