I'm not a big fan of tzatziki sauce, so I used a different sauce instead. The pockets were still delicious.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I used grilled chicken instead. The pockets were still really good.

I'm not a fan of avocado, so I substituted it with diced mango. The pockets were still delicious!

These pockets are perfect for a quick and easy meal. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just heat them up when I'm ready to eat.

I'm not sure why, but my pockets turned out really soggy. I think I might have added too much tzatziki sauce.

I had some trouble getting the pockets to stay closed, but they still tasted great. I think I'll try using a different type of tortilla next time.

These pockets are a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I also like to add a little bit of chopped cucumber to the tzatziki sauce for extra freshness.

I love the combination of shrimp and avocado in these pockets. The tzatziki sauce is also really good, but I think it would be even better with a little bit of lemon juice added.
