For the sauce of the picadillo, blend the guajillo chili, the dried chipotle chili, the cascabel chili, the onion, the garlic, the vinegar, the chicken broth, and season with oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside. In a large saucepan, heat the oil and sauté the onion until it slightly turns golden. Then, add the ground meat and cook for 5 minutes. Add the finely chopped potatoes and carrots and sauté for 5 more minutes. Season the mixture with a bit more salt and pepper. Pour the sauce you set aside earlier and the peas into the mixture of meat, potatoes, and carrots and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the sauce is slightly reduced.
