Start the rice according to the package.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown beef with diced onion 6-7 minutes, then add minced garlic for 1 minute. Drain extra fat.
Add finely diced potatoes and carrots, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in tomato sauce and 1 cup water.
Cover and simmer 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring once or twice. Add peas for the last 3 minutes.
Serve spooned over rice, or in warm tortillas for picadillo tacos.
