Amid the battle for the whackiest menu item across the fast food industry, Burger King is tossing its hat into the Tex Mex ring.

The franchise announced the national release of the "Whopperito," which has already made regional test debuts in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas, CNBC reports. Now, the Whopperito -- a Whopper created in the form on a burrito -- will hit restaurants nationwide.

But it's more than just a traditional Whopper rolled inside a tortilla. The usual mayonnaise found on a Whopper has been replaced with queso and some additional seasonings have been added to the burger meat.

According to CNBC, the Whopperito will be available nationwide Aug. 15 and will cost around $2.99.
