Based on Angelica's explication and side note, and revisiting the original post, it just dawned on me that 'están' should have been 'es tan' in the OP's sentence. And, since that introduces a singular subject, the statement is about the situation rather than the tortillas.
No es tan saludable/sana como parece/pareciera.
I'm also aware that the imperfect subjunctive can be used with a present tense main verb in certain situations.
When used this way, 'may seem' in the English translation could also be 'may have seemed' or 'might seem' ('might' being used as the past tense of 'may').
