Christ, I'm not sure how many words around here are from Spanish or nahuatl. The little of the latter I learned were things like coatl (snake), chapultepec (grasshopper) and lots of place names
tenochitlan (orig name before mexico city), popocatepetl (volcano near mexico city). chocolate is obvious but already suggested. Oh, mescali, peyote, those should be from here. Not sure if nahuatl or other, though, there's a passle of indigenous languages around here...
