If you like these, look up ramen eggs. The basic idea is you make a sauce that you'd be happy eating, usually something similar to a teriyaki. When you are done eating, instead of throwing the sauce out you reduce it a little and toss with chicken or whatever your poison is to make a meal.

Don't know what enchanted egg is, but the soy sauce didn't overpower the egg's natural taste. It only slightly permeated the outer layer of the egg.

That's what I meant... that it enhanced the egg - not just took completely over- because soy is strong.
edit: heh phone auto correct... mmmmm magic eggs

Cheaper/crappier like I said, but tasty enough, especially with getting some actual Tsatziki sauce and the avacado makes everything good too. Wife wont touch them so I had that burrito style one and 2 more giant taco's so I'm ready to full old man crash out at 9pm.... Only like 9 more lbs of this. Found some powdered tsatziki sauce because buying that many little containers of it will break me. Thinking of trying to start just using them for breakfast sammiches.

Why not make your own....
Shred a cucumber, box shredder on largest setting, 1/2 skin peeled, put into a bowl with some salt and mix... come back in 10 min and squeeze the living shit out of it with your hand removing as much water as possible.
Then its easy.. Add some full fat plain yougurt. Squeeze in some lemon juice, add one garlic clove, maybe two small minced or crushed. Then add some salt pepper and dry dill to taste, fresh if you have it, but dry works too. Its like the easiest garnish/sauce to make.
This will keep in the fridge for a week depending on how good of a job you did squeezing that cucumber of water. and im betting you it will be better than anything you can buy in a container at the store.

I'm not sure how much cucumber is in the store brand, I actually hate cucumber, with tzatziki sauce being the only exception. I havn't read the packet of seasoning to see what it wants me to add. But I'm not much of a cook, just pop in for a few things here and there I talk to Retarded about. (And in this case just provoking disgust/admiration w/ my 10lb box of gyro)

ITs not really cooking, its mixing some shit together. and if you dont like cucumber, fucking great! Add less, thats the beauty of making it yourself. Just mix some shit together. I think everyone has those ingredients on hand except maybe the dill and plain yougurt. which are sold in every store.

I was just legitimately interested on whether or not it was tasty because that's not a bad price for the pre-made stuff. Glad it turned out decent, did you fry it in the pan or do the air fryer?
We used to go to a Greek restaurant all the time on James Island when I lived in Charleston, specifically when I was doing a yacht harbor project right down the road. I always got a gyro and fries for lunch and they used some pre-frozen product. They even had a goofy poster with a picture of a gyro that said "gyros! They're fun to eat" and our project manager and I always laughed at it.
Best place though was the Parthenon in downtown Madison on State Street that my parents used to go to when they were in college up there, and anytime we were visiting family in Wisconsin and in the city, we'd stop there. I only ever got to go a handful of times but I think the first was when I was pretty young and just loved it. They do the whole giant meat tornado, super authentic with lots of onions and tzatziki.
You really ought to make your own tzatziki though, and like

was saying it's not hard. I know some people just don't like cucumber much like cilantro, I love both, cucumber probably being one of my favorite vegetables even since I was a kid. I like a whole hell of a lot of dill, but you could scale back the cucumber and up the dose of things like the dill and garlic. A little red onion doesn't hurt either, but I normally didn't shaving that to go on to the gyro anyways. Since you like avocado though mix it with some Greek yogurt, add some dill and lemon juice, some grated garlic, and that would be a perfectly find replacement for your tastes.
I also didn't see any feta on there, but might be something to consider if you like that particular cheese, even though I don't necessarily think it's traditional.

If you have a GFS (Gordon food Stores) around you they sell a 5lb box of the good shit. Like the REAL shit they sell in restaurants, but sliced frozen and packaged for home consumption. I have also seen the real round loafes there that you put on a vertical spit for the restaurants. But that shit is like a 20lb round loaf and WTF you gonna do with all that? Maybe for a party or a wedding or some shit?I was just legitimately interested on whether or not it was tasty because that's not a bad price for the pre-made stuff.

Anyway its a great lunch. Take out like 10-20 slices, pan fry then on low med, and put on a pita with sauce and garnishes of your liking, I like onion and tomato. The kids and wife both love it when its gyro day. I always have a box of that shit in my freezer.

Also next time I want to try this green onion cheese I got at the Amish place at well, my tortillas were already over full
