Mixteco or Fonda del Mar rice recipe?

We're celebrating Thanksgiving this year with a Mexican fiesta. I would like to recreate the arroz that accompanies the platos at Mixteco or Fonda del Mar. The rice does not contain tomatoes. I remember chunks of garlic(roasted?), corn, peas(?), and not much more. Blame it on the margaritas(BYOM at Mixteco). Can anyone help? Oh, and I want to purchase handmade tortillas by the dozen for the holiday. Are there Mexican markets that make their own? Or should I bite the bullet, pay the extra bucks, and order from Maiz or Fonda del Mar? Thanks.

The rice would be pilaf style. The grains are fried in oil first then boiling liquid(chicken stock preferably) is added and all is baked, covered for 18-20 minutes. One part rice to 2 parts liquid. Onions, garlic can be added while the rice is frying-towards the end. Other things like corn, chiles-right before baking.
I don't know of any market that sells fresh cooked tortillas.

Quite a few supermercadoes make their own flour tortillas. Look in the prepared food section and see if they have a sign that says "hecho a mano".

Aside from making a run to a local tortilleria, Mexican markets like Tony's, for example, have tortillas delivered several times a day and you can frequently purchase them while they are still warm.

Thanks for the responses. Mixteco's rice is unusual and though I know I have to fry it, I was hoping for tips on exact ingredients. I guess I'll.play with it. I don't live far from El Milagro tortilla factory, but the handmade tortillas are so much tastier.

Why not just go to a Mexican restaurant where they make their own tortillas and ask them to make you a few dozen?

Thanks David. I think that's the plan: Maiz or Fonda del Mar for tortillas.
