In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and charred around the edges. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken thighs into strips.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with chopped dill and mint, creating a refreshing sauce.
Lay a low-carb tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a tablespoon of the yogurt sauce onto the tortilla.
Top with a handful of chopped romaine lettuce, sliced cucumber, and red onion.
Place a generous amount of sliced chicken on top of the veggies.
Drizzle additional yogurt sauce over the chicken, if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
Serve the Keto Chicken Shawarma Wraps immediately, or wrap them in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
