Chicken Fajita Melts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    6 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves, sliced in thin strips
    1/2 cup sliced onion
    1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
    1/2 cup tomato juice
    2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
    1 cup salsa
    8 slices French bread, each 1/2-inch thick
    2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    lime juice
Preparation
    Heat the oil in a medium skillet until shimmering. Add the chicken and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add onions an peppers and saute until vegetables are tender, about another 5 minutes.
    Add tomato juice and taco seasoning; stir well. Simmer until very thick and chicken is well-coated with sauce, stirring often to prevent burning, about 7 minutes.
    Preheat broiler and place a rack about 6\" from heat.
    Spread 2 tbsp salsa on each slice of bread. Divide the chicken mixture evenly amongst the slices of bread. Top each piece with 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Place under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Finish each sandwich with a few drops of lime juice before serving.
