Mojo Sauce

According to Wikipedia, Mojo is the name of several types of hotsauce the originated in the Canary Islands. In cuban cooking, mojoapplies ot any sauce made with garlic,olive oil, and a citrus juice,traditionally sour orange juice. In Cuba, it is served with almosteverything.

You can use this on Beef or Chicken fajitas and everyone fights for the last spoonful. I have also used this for the cooking broth in Fondue, I just add about a cup more of orange juice and 3 to 4 cups chicken broth.
