Use a whisk or a fork to thoroughly combine the ingredients, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
Transfer the Mexican Dry Rub into an airtight container or spice jar for storage.
For maximum flavor, allow the rub to sit for at least 30 minutes before using it, so the spices have time to meld.
