If you are someone who enjoys a kick of heat added to your meals, then this is the article for you. I love spice, and one chili in particular that is full of flavor is the Habanero.
It is the right balance of heat levels and overall flavor.

There are so many great recipes that use Habanero chili’s that I struggled to whittle down the choices. However, here are my top 25 recipes. These are truly tasty and will leave you full and satisfied.
