According to Bon Appetit, mojo picón comes from the exquisite Canary Islands, a group of eight Spanish islands closer to the coast of northern Africa than Spain. The name "mojo" comes from a neighbor to the northeast, Portugal, whose word for "sauce" is "molho." This is likely because some of the island's earliest residents came from Madeira, an island off the coast of Portugal, per Gran Canaria. Mojo picón is a combination of picón peppers, cayenne pepper, garlic, salt, cumin, smoked Spanish paprika, red wine vinegar, and sunflower oil (via Saveur). There are plenty of substitutions and adjustments that can be made, such as using red jalapenos as the peppers, sherry vinegar, and olive oil (per Bon Appetit), but the basic recipe is the same.
It is suggested that the elements of this sauce are a true melting pot, so to speak, with the paprika coming from Spain, the cumin hailing from Africa, and the spicy peppers coming to Europe from the Americas, per Marca Canaria. Mojo Picon isn't to be confused with Cuban and Puerto Rican mojo sauces, which are typically used as marinades, but Gran Canaria suggests they may have been influenced by the famous Canary Island sauces.
