Combine Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cinnamon, oregano, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a plastic container or resealable bag. Add chicken strips and shake until ingredients are evenly combined and chicken is well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to overnight. When you are ready to make the sandwiches, heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add marinated chicken, and sear until golden brown on both sides and no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of the chicken pieces. While the chicken is cooking, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl or small resealable container, stir well to blend. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired. Once chicken is cooked and sauce is prepared, assemble sandwiches by dividing meat, lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes between your pita. Add a generous smear of the yogurt sauce (to your taste preference).

For the shawarma: Whisk together the oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, allspice, chili powder, cinnamon, garlic, lemon zest and juice and 2 teaspoons salt in a container until combined. Add the chicken, cover and marinate, refrigerated, for 12 to 14 hours. For the tomato-cucumber relish: Mix together the oil, vinegar, tomatoes, cucumbers, lemon juice, onion, parsley and some salt and pepper in a bowl. For the tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the tahini, oil, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt. Prepare a grill for medium heat and oil the grill grates. Remove the chicken from the marinade, sprinkle with salt and place on the hot grill. Grill skin-side down until the skin starts to brown and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and grill the other side for another 4 to 6 minutes. Flip again and grill until the skin is super crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes more. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4-inch pieces. For the wrap build: First, spread tahini sauce on the tortillas, then top with shredded romaine, then the relish, then the chopped chicken. Add some pickled peppers, roll up tight and eat!

At least 2 hours ahead, or up to 8 hours ahead, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, turmeric, salt, pepper, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir ingredients well and add chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate. Stir chicken pieces and marinade about every 2 hours. About 30 minutes prior to grilling, make the raita by mixing yogurt, cucumber, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to make the wraps. Preheat an outdoor gas grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place chicken pieces in a single layer onto the oiled grate, and grill until no longer pink in the center, the juices run clear, and both sides are brown, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Timing will depend on the thickness of the chicken thighs and the distance of the grates to the heat. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Place grilled chicken on a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Allow chicken to rest 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into thin slices. To assemble the wraps, divide ingredients evenly: Place chicken slices in the center of each naan bread. Top with shredded lettuce, onion rings, and tomato slices; spoon raita on top. Wrap each naan around the sandwich ingredients, and serve.
