Netlogo - Create an Action Every 60 Ticks

I have a microorganism that is eating 160 lettuce molecules. I want the microorganism to only eat one of the lettuce molecules every 60 ticks. How do I write that code in? Below is the code for the microorganism eating the lettuce molecules. Thanks in advance!

to go
  ask microorganisms [
    move
    let food one-of lettuces-here
    if food != nobody [
      ask food [ die ]
    ]
    ]
    tick

end

to move
  set lettuce_index 1
  loop [
    ifelse lettuce lettuce_index != nobody [
      face lettuce lettuce_index
      fd 1
      stop
    ]
    [
      set lettuce_index lettuce_index + 1
    ]
  ]

end

I can't work out what your move procedure is supposed to do. However, I don't think that's important to solve the 'only do this every 60 ticks' problem. The easiest way is to use the mod primitive. So put your entire eating of food inside an if condition with if ticks mod 60 = 0 [ ]
