And then the 2nd epidemic card hit. We pulled Mexico City from the bottom of the deck. Since it had just been given a cube due to LA's outbreak, it suffered a massive outbreak of yellow, and in turn, it triggered a 2nd outbreak in LA.
I'm pretty sure that the infection-step (step 2) on the epidemic cards, where you pull a card from the bottom of the infection deck and put 3 cubes on, can not trigger an outbreak (at least in January, since I have not gotten further in yet). So if Mexico City already had one cube on it, you would just place an additional 2 for a total of 3. the risk of an outbreak comes from shuffeling this card (in your case Mexico City) into the Infection Discard Pile and then putting those ontop of the draw pile.
