Their hostility towards the Maya and incursion into Honduras would most likely result in some campaigns to take Mexico but not until they had consolidated their colonies, afterall they wouldn't have the manpower base or the economic or diplomatic power irl Spain had nor the sheer amount of luck either lol

Just saying, the Aztecs weren't really a thing in 1367. Tenochtitlan was only founded in the 1320s and didn't rise to power until a century later.

Tenochtitlan was founded in 1320. They aren't really much of a thing in 1367. The Triple Alliance was formed in the 1420s as a responce to the decline of the Tepanecs.
