AHC: American Khanate

Have a khanate, a political entity ruled by a khan or khagan, on the Americas in 1700 AD.

BONUS: The khanate has an ethnic Asian majority.

Xorg the Mighty: Let us begin

Azarxa the Unmerciful: The one they call the Great Khan has united the Mongolid tribes of North East Asia.

Reg'hor the Voidsplitter: He may struggle against the Iranids of South Asia though, should they come to conflict. This would interfere with our master plan.

Ghri'dezh the Provider: Then let us give the Mongolids weapons this world should not see for another millenia! They shall sweep the world as though there were no tomorrow!

Xorg the Mighty: It is done! The Mongolids shall be given phasers, laserguns, tanks and jets.

And so, the Mongols swept across Asia and into Europe, and by the end of the 14th century all of the known world belonged to them - thus began their conquest of the Americas.
 
Late 13th century
Yuan invasion of Indonesia fails (as in OTL)
Returning invasion force is frustrated by storms (it is an El Nino year) and is forced east across the Pacific.
Yuan Invasion force after much tribulation and significant losses lands by chance in Panama.
Following Mongol penchant for taking the best of what they find, invasion force merges with local Ngobe people to one degree or another.
Once established in the new land, the Mongol leader (Shi-Bi) declares the Silver Horde and is made Khan at a Kurultai.

Asian Majority is impossible, force is Some Mongols, many Chinese, a lot of Koreans and Uighurs.
Ultimately the "Mongols" are driven out by the Mayans and settle in Texas.
The Chinese contingent has gone south with a Chinese Lieutenant who conquers Chan Chan and becomes Emperor of wht we can call Peru for now.

Mayans adopt maritime technologies from Yuan prisoners and captured Junks.
Columbus has a great surprise in 1492.

While I'm not sure about this specific scenario, the Yuan Dynasty seems by far the most likely option to establish an American Khanate.

Perhaps a greater migration of ethnic Mongols into China proper, like the Manchus? IOTL the Yuan were a very, very thin layer on top of a normal Chinese dynasty. For settlement and khanates, you may need more.

Thank you for your replies.

I also consider the Yuan Dynasty to be the most plausible source of any Mongol colonists who could establish a khanate in the Americas because, as far as I know, they were the only khanate to establish a major navy.

While this seems to be the most obvious and seemingly perhaps only plausible choice, could there any other non-ASB possibilities?

'Reg'hor the Voidsplitter'?!?! What the heck is a 'Voidsplitter'? Now this is an ASB to meet.

instead of the Jurchen conquering China, have them halted at the Yellow River say. Then they turn to the northeast and discover Alaska ,If the Basques went to to the Saint Lawrence for fishing, the Jurchen would find even better fishing. if they found gold, they would form a khanate.
