Peel the plantains and slice into diagonally-cut 1/2-inch thick medallions.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat and fry plantain slices until golden on both sides. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet, add the brown sugar and cook briefly to melt and caramelize, then carefully pour in tequila to deglaze; simmer until the liquid reduces by half and becomes syrupy.
Stir in lime juice and orange zest; cook until the mixture thickens to a glaze.
Whisk in butter and salt until sauce is glossy and emulsified.
Return the fried plantains to the pan and toss gently to coat in the tequila glaze. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Remove from heat. Add heavy cream and vanilla, swirling to create a creamy, velvety sauce; adjust salt to taste.
Serve the plantains warm, spooned with extra sauce, and garnish with lime wedges.
