Preheat the Crock-Pot by setting it to low. Rub pork butt all over with barbecue rub.
Heat a large skillet on medium heat with olive oil. Once hot, add the pork and sear all over without burning the spices. Adjust heat to medium-low if needed.

Transfer pork aside and reserve fat in the pan. Carefully add water to the skillet on medium heat, gently stirring with a spoon to deglaze the pan. Transfer this liquid into the Crock-Pot.
Add barbecue sauce to the bottom of the Crock-Pot and stir to combine with the liquid.
Add the can of diced or crushed pineapple to the bottom of the Crock-Pot and stir.

Reserve a large spoonful of pineapple barbecue mixture.
Place the pork butt into the Crock-Pot and top with the reserved pineapple barbecue mixture.
Close the Crock-Pot and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork falls apart.
Once done, transfer the pork to a bowl, removing any twine if present.
Optionally, add a couple spoonfuls of the pineapple pork mixture to the pork for added moisture and flavor.
Shred the pork with a fork. Add more barbecue sauce to the pork and toss to combine, if desired
To make tacos, heat up flour tortillas, add the desired amount of pineapple pork, and top with avocado, sour cream, and cilantro.
