Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grate 1 tsp of lemon peel from the lemon and squeeze 1 tbs of juice. In a medium skillet, melt the butter. Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and brush a total of 1/2 tbs of the butter on one side of each. Sprinkle each side with a total of 1 tbs of the sugar. Place the tortillas in the oven to toast until they are crisp and the sugar begins to melt, 5 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, add the remaining 4 tbs sugar, lemon peel, and juice to the remaining 2 tbs butter in the skillet. Add the plums and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until they are softened, the sugar is melted, and a syrup forms, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the brandy or orange juice and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer the tortillas to 4 dessert plates, spoon the warm plum mixture onto each and serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings.
