From [sauce-infused buns](http://time.com/4274866/burger-king-angriest-whopper-red-buns/?iid=sr-link2) to [chicken fries](http://time.com/3992821/burger-king-fiery-chicken-fries/?iid=sr-link1) and [Mac n’ Cheetos,](http://time.com/4378236/burger-king-mac-n-cheetos/?iid=sr-link9) the burger chain has been on a roll with its trendy food mashups. And now: the Whopperrito. After several [months of testing](http://time.com/4358274/burger-king-whopperrito-whopper-burrito/), the burger-burrito hybrid will launch nationally on Aug. 15. “We’re infusing classic American fare with Tex-Mex flare,” Alex Macedo, President of Burger King’s North American brand, said in a statement. “The Whopperrito is a new interpretation of the Tex-Mex trend in a way that only Burger King restaurants could imagine and uses the classic flame-grilled 100% beef Whopper sandwich meat to set this burger-burrito hybrid apart from other burritos out there.” So what exactly is in the mysterious Whopperrito? That would be spiced beef, tomatoes, onion, lettuce, pickles and a “creamy queso sauce” instead of mayonnaise, all wrapped up in a flour tortilla. In other words, it’s a Tex-Mex flavored Whopper sandwich served in everyone’s favorite burrito form. The Whopperrito will cost $2.99 or $4.99 as part of a combo meal, which seems like a pretty good deal. Next time your group can’t choose a cuisine — Mexican? American? — Burger King is here to cater to all kinds of cravings. Watch out, Chipotle and [Taco Bell](http://time.com/4428792/taco-bell-cheetos-stuffed-burrito/?iid=sr-link1). The king is coming for you. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4443210/burger-kings-whopperrito-burger-burrito/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4443210/burger-kings-whopperrito-burger-burrito/"},"headline":"Burger King's New 'Whopperrito' Is the Burger-Burrito Hybrid You've Been Waiting For","datePublished":"2016-08-08T15:38:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:12.796Z","description":"Watch out, Taco Bell","url":"https://time.com/4443210/burger-kings-whopperrito-burger-burrito/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt490b43e6e2fcf913/6988a18bbc6cfc7d5b3de2c2/burger-king-whopperrito.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt490b43e6e2fcf913/6988a18bbc6cfc7d5b3de2c2/burger-king-whopperrito.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"burger-king-whopperrito","caption":"","creditText":"Burger King","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4443210/burger-kings-whopperrito-burger-burrito/","name":"Burger King's New 'Whopperrito' Is the Burger-Burrito Hybrid You've Been Waiting For"}}]}] ```
