The clock is ticking toward 2000, and nobody knows whether the VCR will survive the night. What we do know is that a well-stocked taco pantry does not need a computer chip to work.
Your Y2K taco kit
- Dried chiles: they keep for a year and do not care what the date is
- Masa harina and a cast iron tortilla press
- Canned beans and chipotles in adobo
- A camping stove and a comal, just in case
- Batteries for the boombox. The party must go on.

Whatever happens at midnight, we will be ringing in the new millennium with carnitas. See you on the other side. Happy New Year!
