Words that rhyme with Ortiz
Ortiz is a low-register anchor: two-syllable, vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, ending that spills into a fricative. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. What the engine returns: perfect rhymes hand you a small starter set, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why ortiz rhymes the way it does
Ortiz sits on the clipped /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 35 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 2, assonance 10,209, and consonance 804. 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. Ortiz is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
