Preparation
In small bowl combine 1 cup of the yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, the chopped mint and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt to make a dressing. Refrigerate.
In a large bowl, combine remaining 1 cup yogurt, ginger, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, last teaspoon of cumin, oregano, and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in refrigerator at least 30 minutes.

Slice the chicken into 1/2-inch strips, and serve rolled in warm tortillas, topped with carrots, greens, and the yogurt dressing.
(Alternatively, chicken could be served over rice or on a bed of salad greens.)
