The Aztecs got their food from plants mainly, The Aztec's, were very good farmers, they lived in a very fertile valley, surrounded by water so they had a system called chinampas which resembled what you would call floating gardens, and they harvested corn, tomatoes, squash, beans, and so on.
The Aztecs had several ways of obtaining food. The first was by growing it themselves. The Aztecs maintained floating gardens, called Chinampas, to grow their food near their primary city of Tenochtitlan. Because the city was located on the water and the gardens floated, the Aztecs could be placed under siege and still have access to their food. Aztec people also hunted for their game food (birds, rabbits, deer, etc.) and also required their sub-city (or conquered cities) to provide tributes to them.
Basically since the valley is surrounded by mountains, small lakes would appear because of rainfall so the Aztecs had to build man-made islands out of mud and plants to help them make farm areas.
The Aztecs used swamps for various purposes, including agriculture and aquaculture. Swamps provided fertile land for growing crops such as maize and beans, and their water sources were used to create chinampas, which were floating gardens used for farming. Additionally, swamps offered a habitat for various aquatic animals that the Aztecs would hunt and fish for food.
Chocolate was a delicacy by the Aztecs.
