Burger King To Serve Up Whopper-Burrito Hybrid

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — If you love burgers and burritos, Burger King won't make you choose between the two.

The fast food chain is launching the "Whopperito," a Whopper wrapped in a tortilla. It'll include the key ingredients of a burger, like ground beef, cheese and lettuce, but queso sauce will be used instead of ketchup and mustard.

A Burger King spokesman said the Whopperito is the chain's first foray into Tex-Mex cuisine.

Customers should get their first taste of the Whopperito August 15, and it'll be on the menu for a few months. The price will be about $2.99.

Burger King is known for its food mash-ups that combine flavors and brands. In June, the company started serving "Mac n' Cheetos," a combination of macaroni, cheese and a Cheeto crust.

Earlier this year, the company offered the Dr. Pepper Shake and the Oreo Irish Mint Shake, along with Jalapeno Chicken fries.
