In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, allspice, black pepper, salt, and minced garlic.
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, and fresh dill in a bowl. Set aside.
Warm the gluten-free flatbreads on the grill or in a pan for 1-2 minutes each side, until pliable.
To assemble the wrap, lay a lettuce leaf on each flatbread, add a few slices of tomato, red onion, and chicken strips.
Drizzle or spread the yogurt sauce over the top, then roll the flatbread tightly into a wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free chicken shawarma wraps.
