How to make Mexican Spice Mix

Are you curious about how to make Mexican Spice Mix at home? Over the past few months, it has been tricky to purchase my favourite Mexican spice with my regular groceries. I suddenly thought what happens if I can never get this brand again? Could I make a homemade Mexican Spice mix?

Then I tried to re-create my Mexican spice mix at home and guess what? It worked. You can recreate it too. It's easy and tastes very good. I think my homemade Mexican spice mix is even better than the store-bought version.
