For the pitas: In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and flatten each into a round about 6-7 inches in diameter.

Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook each pita for 2-3 minutes per side, or until puffed and lightly browned with some char marks. Stack cooked pitas and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm and soft.

For the chicken: In a bowl, combine the trimmed chicken thigh with cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, honey, garlic paste, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing other components, or longer if time permits.

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and slightly charred. Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

For the tzatziki (optional): In a small bowl, combine non-fat plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated cucumber (squeezed dry), minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

To assemble the gyros: Lay out a warm pita. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce (if using) onto the pita. Top with sliced cooked chicken, then add fresh red onion and fresh tomato slices. Fold or roll the pita to create the gyro. Repeat for the remaining pitas and serve immediately.
