Words that rhyme with Tortilla
Tortilla: three-syllable, a word the lyric earns weight from by context, vowel sitting on the flat /æ/, ending that leaves the vowel hanging open. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect matches come in a small handful, no family-rhyme matches turn up, the assonance well runs into four figures. Take the lyric role separately and it's a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why tortilla rhymes the way it does
In our engine, tortilla registers as a three-syllable word on the short /æ/ (/æ/) that doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 23 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 28, assonance 3,319, and consonance 0. The empty consonance column tells you something — the closing consonant of this word is rare enough that nothing else in English shares it cleanly. Slant work has to come from the vowel side instead. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Tortilla rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
