Words that rhyme with Burrito
Take burrito apart phonetically and the bones are these: three-syllable, vowel on the round /ษ/, ending that doesn't close on a consonant at all. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. What the engine returns: the perfect-rhyme list is short, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a common-tongue word. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why burrito rhymes the way it does
In our engine, burrito registers as a three-syllable word on the open /ษ/ (/ษ/) that doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 148, assonance 4,566, and consonance 932. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Burrito is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
