You now have to apply for Temporary Resident permits from outside of Mexico. For permission to work you have to have a letter offering you the job from the employer. The law changed last November and it is a pain in this case. But as the wife of a Mexican citizen there are some advantages to you. It might be wise to consult with an Immigration attorney on your end, and/or visit a Mexican Embassy or Consulate in the US. While becoming a Temporary Resident, what we used to call FM3s and FM2s, it has become scaringly easier to become permanent residents. And permanent is forever. You could go, even move, to another country and you will remain a Permanent Resident of Mexico. Beyond strange for me to see this, after 9 years here.
