    Is there a brand of tomato paste that you recommend? My understanding is that BPA is a concern in canned tomato products, or is it only a small concern? This recipe and the chicken enchilada recipe look wonderful!

    Mandie,
    I use Bionaturae tomato paste, which comes in a glass jar.

    Marisa, so do I! :) Thanks for sharing! Mandie, I totally agree, BPA is a big concern with tomato products (because they are acidic). I get tomato paste in glass jars.
