Fritters with Coffee Syrup

Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; set aside.

Heat oil in medium skillet. Fry tortillas one at a time, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle fritters with cinnamon sugar.

Combine remaining 1 cup sugar, water and coffee granules in medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until syrup thickens. Remove from heat; add vanilla extract. Serve with fritters.
