Did a similar run last year. Had to clear customs/immigration, go outside, then enter the airport again. As long as you don't arrive at a bad time and have no checked bags, i think 2 hrs is plenty of time.

I recall similar; can't remember if there is a way to "transit" or not. But there is definitely no Mexico departure immigration when you leave. They don't stamp you out of the country. It was fairly simple even without a transit.

I did this run twice earlier this year... actually routed it SEA-SFO-MIA-CUN-JFK-LAX-SEA for added mileage 
Both times, arrived on a Saturday morning (around 10am) - was able to clear immigration + security both times in ~45 minutes (no bags; note there is no premium security!). The lounge was crowded but actually quite nice (for PP standards).
A 2-hours turn is definitely doable, but 1-hour is cutting it pretty close IMO.
If you have any questions, just ask!
