Most of modern day Mexican cuisine is derived from the Aztecs, Mayans, and other Native American peoples of Mexico. In addition, widely-used crops such as corn, beans, chili pepper, chocolate, and vanilla were first cultivated in Mesoamerica. The turkey was also domesticated in ancient Mexico.
The Incas and other Andean peoples of South America domesticated the guinea pig and the llama. They first cultivated potatoes, peanuts, and other crops, including a plant called coca, which is used in Coca Cola and in coccaine. They invented jerkey, which is a word from the Inca language.

as far as the mayan contributions its the invention of the cero as part of the numerical system and an astronomic calendar that its one of the most accurates.
inca and aztec civilizations Im not really sure, but mainly they are famous for their medical remedies.
among some others they had very nice coffe and cacao (cocoa), a ball game wich its similar to what soccer its today.
