Vegan Applesauce Nachos

I know it sounds weird, but bear with me! The applesauce sweetens it, but a flavorful salsa, salty chips, and earthy beans help to balance it out. This recipe is vegan and easy to prepare, best enjoyed hot. The ingredients are estimates, since I make this by sight or to taste, but it's easily doubled or tripled. Feel free to vary the recipe, for example using black beans instead of kidney beans.
