1. Add water to a 10 inch nonstick skillet or pan. Bring to the start of a boil and add the rice and tomato sauce. Reduce heat to medium low and cover. Stir about every few minutes because it will stick.
2. After cooking for 10 minutes add red & green peppers, onion, and chili powder. Continue to stir every few minutes. Taste sauce and add salt and pepper if needed. After rice has absorbed all the liquid its ready to serve.
