Familiar with a Mexican recipe?

Is anyone familiar with a Mexican dish that has small bits of chicken and short little noodles in a soupy red liquid. It looked pretty greasy but tasted awesome. I am not Mexican but my neighbors are and they make it sometimes. I believe it's a quick, cheap, easy dish but I am not sure what it's called or anything.

Update:

Thank you--I'm sure that must be what it is! I'm going to the grocery store today so I can try it out!
