How did the economy of the Aztecs change as a result to the Spanish Conquest?

The Aztec people who survived the many illnesses brought to them by the Spanish were enslaved by the Spanish losing all autonomy or control of their lives, culture, resources, and goods.

What food gets its name from the aztec for bitter water?
The current widespread myth is that chocolate derives from a supposed Nahuatl word xocolatl, alleged to mean "bitter water". The problem is that no such word was recorded by the Spanish in their Nahuatl dictionaries (the earliest native language dictionaries in the Americas) although there is a Nahuatl word xococ meaning bitter. If the Spanish were met with a new drink of that name they would have certainly recorded it.
The element atl certainly means water or a drink.
A genuine Nahuatl word chicolatl would mean "a drink with something ground up in it", referring to cocoa beans.
The truth behind the myth may never be discovered.

How did Cortes interact with the Aztecs?
The meeting between the Aztecs and Cortez didn't go very well. As you may already know Cortez befriended the Aztecs because they thought he was a holy God. He left the city and when he returned he realized his men had killed all of the Aztecs due to some religious ritual. I think that if he had been there he would have stopped his men from killing the Aztecs, but that is just my opinion. So in conclusion the meeting between the Aztecs and Cortez went horribly wrong; in result many innocent people died.
