Whataburger Monterey Melt Ingredients

The Large White Bun is made mainly from enriched wheat flour and water, with added sugar, soybean oil, yeast, and salt. It also includes small amounts of ingredients that help improve texture, freshness, and shelf life. The bun is lightly sweetened and contains wheat and soy.

The bun oil is used to coat or toast the bun and is made from soybean oil. It includes flavoring agents and ingredients that help preserve taste and prevent foaming during cooking.

The beef patty is simple and straightforward—made from USDA-inspected 100% ground beef, with no fillers. It’s seasoned with a special seasoning that includes salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.

The burger uses two types of cheese. American cheese is made from milk and cream, blended with water and salts to give it a smooth, melty texture. Monterey Jack cheese is also made from milk and cream and adds a mild, creamy flavor to the burger. Both cheeses contain dairy and a small amount of soy.

The fire-roasted vegetable blend includes yellow onions, red bell peppers, and poblano peppers. These vegetables add a slightly smoky, sweet, and spicy taste to the Monterey Melt.

Finally, the jalapeño ranch dressing is a creamy sauce made from soybean oil, water, jalapeños, vinegar, and egg yolks. It’s lightly seasoned with garlic, onion, spices, and herbs, giving the burger its signature zesty and mildly spicy kick.
